About the advantages of LagIeyze surgery for trachomatous inversion

The Lagleuse method, which is a modification of the Panas'a operation, was published in 18921). In subsequent reports (1904 2; and 1905 3) L. notes that, having carried out this operation for 10 years (300 times), he never saw relapses. With the exception of the observations of Lanotti2) (85 cases within 4 years), which received the best results, and a cursory mention by Löhlein'a1), I could not find any more works on this operation in the foreign literature. In Russian literature, there are also few of them (Sadovnikova4), Sheffer5), Krylov6) and Smolyaninov7). The description of the operation is also included in the “Course of Eye Diseases0 by Kryukov and Odintsov8) - It seems to me that it would not be a mistake to assert that L.'s method has been given a little space not only in the literature, but also in practice — this method is not widespread. Meanwhile, the op has a number of advantages, thanks to which it deserves more attention and interest.
