Limbal "7" Conjunctival Incision

Performed by Scott A. Larson MD. Video edited by Christian Zirbes This video shows how to construct a conjunctival incision that I call the Limbal “7”. This incision is used for horizontal strabismus surgery. First a radial relaxing incision is made in the conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule and a space is made under the conjunctiva by spreading with the Westcott scissors. The incision is then continued by following the limbus but a second relaxing incision is not done. The surgery can then proceed as it normally does. When the incision is ready to be closed, two interrupted, absorbable sutures, in this case 8-0 polysorb, are placed in a buried fashion. The lower portion of the incision can tear in adults so this is only used for children. This incision gives the advantage of good exposure of the muscle but also heals faster with the relaxing incision hidden under the upper lid.
