Hummelsheim procedure


A transposition surgery used to treat complete lateral rectus palsy or sixth nerve palsy that involves disinserting the lateral halves of the superior and inferior rectus muscle tendons and transposing them to be sutured adjacent to the lateral rectus muscle insertion. This augments the lateral rectus function by adding vector forces from the transposed vertical rectus muscles, improving abduction and reducing esotropia caused by the palsy.
