Experience of FOTEK application in surgical treatment of strabismus

The purpose is to analyse the safety of radio-wave strabismus surgery using the FOTEK device. Material and Methods. The results of surgical treatment of strabismus were analysed in 283 patients. Results. The duration of the procedure using the FOTEK device was 12±0.5 minutes for operations on 1 muscle and 18±0.3 minutes for operations on 2 muscles involved, М±ст In the control group the duration of the operation was 16±0.4 and 25±0.5 minutes, M±a Intraoperative bleeding was recorded in the control group, which worsened the visibility of the surgical field and required additional time to stop the bleeding. Conclusion. The FOTEK device reduces the probability of hemorrhagic complications during surgical treatment of strabismus and shortens the duration of the operation.
