[The vascularization of the anterior portion of the medial rectus muscle after a Cupper's thread operation].
Development of vascularization of the anterior part of the medial rectus muscle after Cüppers' thread operation was studied by injected barium sulphate into the ophthalmic artery of 8 corpses. Properly distributed and normally tightened myoscleral sutures, as with surgical operations for strabismus, do not hinder circulation of the contrast medium, whereas markedly tightened sutures interrupt its circulation. These experimental results as well as clinical and pathological findings following 18 repeat surgical operations, clearly show that Cüppers' thread operation is not hazardous when a very strict operative technique is respected.
