Table 4. Mean preoperative and postoperative Hertel values.
Hertel value | No. of eyes | Preoperative | Postoperative | gP | Difference |
Medial-inferior | 15 | 26.8±3.3 (22-32) | 19±3.4 (13-25) | <0.001 | 7.8±1.9 (4-11)a,b,f |
Medial-lateral | 181 | 25.9±3.3 (19-35) | 20.1±2.6 (14-27) | <0.001 | 5.7±2.7 (1-13)a,c,d |
Medial-lateral-inferior | 39 | 27±3.3 (20-35) | 20.1±3.8 (13-28) | <0.001 | 6.9±2.7 (3-14)c,e,f |

According to the Bonferroni adjustment, P<0.0125 was significant. Intergroup comparisons of preoperative and postoperative Hertel values (Kruskal-Wallis test). aP=0.001, medial-inferior vs medial-lateral groups; bP=0.001, medial-inferior vs lateral groups; cP=0.030, medial-lateral vs medial-lateral-inferior groups; dP=0.003, medial-lateral vs lateral groups; eP<0.001, medial-lateral-inferior vs lateral groups; fP=0.09, medial-inferior vs medial-lateral-inferior groups. gIntragroup comparisons of preoperative and postoperative Hertel values (Wilcoxon signed rank test).
