Good results with any technic involving the placement of corneoscleral sutures lie in the operator's ability to profit by repetition; however, in my opinion the faults are exceedingly difficult to iron out. The placing of sutures prior to section, as in the technic of Kalt,1 Liégard,2 Mendoza,3 Baldino,4 Lindner,5 Walker,6 Verhoeff7 and McLean,8 demands dexterity in completing the section through the prepared tract or between previously placed sutures.
