title: Trypan blue-assisted posterior tenectomy of the superior oblique.
abstract: Posterior tenectomy of the superior oblique tendon can be difficult, particularly for inexperienced surgeons, due to problems in visualization and anatomic peculiarities. Trypan blue can be used to stain the superior oblique tendon for easy identification and delineation of it at its insertion, making the current surgical technique less difficult.
