    Abstract:
    The surgical effects of three methods, transposition of the vertical rectus muscles, Jensen's procedure, and resection (advancement) of the lateral rectus muscle, were compared among 109 cases of paralytic esotropia due to abducens palsy. These procedures were combined with recession of the medial rectus muscle in about half the cases. Of the 109 cases, 22 were followed up for 4 years or longer. Results were similar, provided that the following protocols for surgery were adhered to: in cases of complete paralysis, transposition of the vertical rectus muscles was done, and in cases of incomplete paralysis, resection (advancement) of the lateral rectus muscle was performed. With both procedures, results were improved if recession of the medial rectus muscle was carried out at the same time.
