Atlas and epitome of operative ophthalmology . ad meanwhile developed wastreated by operation on February 2b, 1903 (see text). also regains its mobility, and by covering the large woundwhich occupies the inner aspect of the lid and the lowerportion of the globe with flaps after the Thiersch method,the latter may remain in good apposition with the globeand the edge of the lid if the eyes are properly bandagedso as to render the parts absolutely immovable, especiallyif the flap has been secured to the conjunctiva with a fewsutures. In the transitional fold, however, there is noth-ing to counteract its shortening, and from that point con-traction goes on in both directions, and is so marked thatthe transplanted piece ultimately stretches from the edgeof the lid to the globe, and the original condition is re-stored. It is possible with this method of skin-grafting to securethe flap in the transitional fold by means of a loop orbridle suture (which von Stellwag used for the transplan-tation of mucous membrane) and thus keep it in close. )
