title: Multiple operations for strabismus.
abstract: Some examples will be noted where the strabismus surgeon plans the patient to have more than one operation. Unfortunately most multistage strabismus procedures are unplanned and are a consequence of failure of the initial surgery. The three most common causes of such failure will be discussed. Brief mention will be made of the more important surgical techniques for rectus muscles that have had repeated operations.
