The author has performed this operation, since 1919, 62 times on patients from 6 to 38 years old. The technique is as follows: after removal of the apple, a strong lining is formed in the depth of the eye socket by sewing together the oblique eye muscles and the remains of the pouch, then a cartilage plate taken from the VI or VII rib is placed on it, and the straight eye muscles, subconjunctival tissue and the connective sheath are sewn crosswise over everything.
