Abstract

Abduction limitation in esotropic Duane retraction syndrome (DRS), esotropic Mobius syndrome, and sixth nerve palsy is one of the difficult-to-manage problems in strabismus surgery. The procedure of superior rectus transposition (SRT) was introduced by Johnston et al. In this procedure, the superior rectus (SR) muscle is disinserted and sutured adjacent to the insertion of lateral rectus (LR) muscle. The purpose of this review is to explore literature about efficacy and safety of SRT and its usage in strabismus surgery. © 2022 Akbari et al.
