  • Title: [A triple operation of perforating corneal transplantation, cataract extraction and implantation of an intraocular lens].
    Author: Fryczkowski AW.
    Journal: Klin Oczna; 1992; 94(11-12):364-6. PubMed ID: 1341310.
    Abstract:
    The triple operation was performed in 7 patients (4 men and 3 women). The age of the patients was 18-56 years, the period of hospitalization 3 to 5 days. The surgery was performed in a light intravenous anaesthesia (NLA) or topical anaesthesia. The diameter of the graft oscillated between 7.25 and 9.0 mm. In all the cases after an extracapsular cataract extraction (or removal of remnants) the lens was implanted in the capsule. The graft was sutured by means of 20 single stitches (10.0 nylon) or applying a continuous suture (11.0 nylon). From the complications one observed breaking of a stitch, vascular ingrowth from the periphery and glaucoma. In the postoperative period--from 9 months to 3 years the visual acuity of the patients improved up to 0.4-0.7 in 4 cases and up to 0.8-1.0 in the remaining 3 cases.
