Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I have a 6 year old son who in December of 2003, he was 4 at the time, had the sling operation done. The Doctor/Specialist inserted a silicone sling which we felt was the best solution for this procedure. Although permanent, if necessary the doctor could go back and make adjustments. Within 24 hours after the surgery, my son was up and about, pretty much back to his very active normal behavior. We are very pleased with the results. We were advised by the same doctor/specialist that our son now needs the transnasal wiring procedure to bring his eyes in closer and recommends this procedure be done this summer. We are now in the process of interviewing specialists who are familiar with this procedure. I am writing in general to get some information from members of this group who are familar with this procedure, may have had this done. ly this surgery frightens me more than the sling, which was very tramatic and nerve racking for both my husband and myself. Our son recovered nicely but it took us a while to recover emotionally!! We live in the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami area and have been referred to Dr. E. with Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami. He is the Assistant Professor - Ophthalmic Plastic, Orbital Surgery and Oncology. Please share your experience and/or advise. Thank so much for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
