[The treatment of total and consolidated 6th nerve paralysis by transplantation using the Hummelsheim technic]

Surgical cure of total and definitive lateral recti paralysis by muscular transplantation technique according to Hummelsheim seems unjustly accused to be responsible for anterior segment ischemia. Eighteen operations of this kin have been performed without any complications and with results that can be considered as satisfactory. Transplantation itself must not exceed 1/4 or at the most 1/3 of the vertical muscles and must imperatively be associated to a weakening of the 2 medial recti.
