[Modification of the microsurgical closure of the incision in cryosurgery for cataract (author's transl)]. 1977

T Krwawicz

In this paper a microsurgical technique for cataract operation is discussed which displaces the whole healing process of the operation wound from the sensitive region of the limbus corneae to the easily and quickly healing connective tissue of the sclera. The modified procedure for microsurgical closure of the wound is also treated in detail, which depends on the fact scleral flaps are apposed to an appropriate fixation band formed from the scleral tissue.
