Harada-Ito procedure
The Harada-Ito procedure is an eye muscle operation designed to improve the excyclotorsion experienced by some patients with cranial nerve IV palsy. In this procedure, the superior oblique tendon is split, and the anterior fibers -- the fibers most responsible for incyclotorsion -- are moved anteriorly and laterally.
