Sclero-Corneal Trephining for Staphyloma

on sclero-corneal trephining, has not yet, I believe, led to the publication of any cases. During 1913 I operated on 17 eyes for this condition, and the results appear to me to be sufficiently encouraging to merit publication. The cases were not selected, my object being first to satisfy myself that reduction of a staphyloma could be effected by establishing free filtration between the aqueous,...

Some Points of Practical Importance in the Operation of Sclero-Corneal Trephining by Elliot's Method

occurs during this procedure the better. My incision is exactly that described by Elliot in extent. I find, however, if, when making it, I at first make an incision about one-third of an inch in length in the mid-line, and then insert the points of the closed scissors under the conjunctiva, it is extremely easy to undermine the conjunctiva to the extent required for the superficial portion of t...

Corneal trephining for penetrating keratoplasty.

MANY complications following corneal grafting procedures may be attributed to the technical and biological problems associated with this type of surgery. It is generally agreed that accurate apposition of the graft to the margin of the incision in the recipient cornea is of the greatest importance. Manual trephining for penetrating keratoplasty frequently results in badly cut grafts, and for th...

A comparative study of sclero-corneal and clear corneal tunnel incision in manual small-incision cataract surgery.

BACKGROUND Cataract surgery techniques have improved a lot over the years from couching to the latest micro-incision cataract surgery. OBJECTIVES To compare the temporal sclero-corneal and clear corneal tunnel incisions in patients undergoing manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) with respect to the surgically-induced astigmatism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study included 60 ...
