[The use of Soviet-made flexible ophthalmic endoscopes during surgical interventions on the "closed" eye].

Possibilities of the usage of different models of flexible ophthalmic endoscopes in diagnosis and treatment of intraocular eye pathology have been studied. The paper presents data about the usage of endoscopes at the time of intraocular operations in the "closed" eye of 25 patients with pathologic changes of different etiology in the posterior segment of the eye (25 eyes). Comparative analysis of possibilities of the usage of different models has revealed advantages of endoscopes with combined observation and illumination channels and with a wide-angle objective. Different methods for the usage of flexible ophthalmic endoscopes are described. It is pointed out that ophthalmic endoscopy, by giving a surgeon additional information about intraocular changes, allows the operation of a closed type in vitreoretinal pathology to be much more effective.

[Spinal endoscopy in the diagnosis of diseases of the spinal cord].

A total of 112 patients with various diseases of the spinal cord were examined using spinal endoscopy. It is concluded on the basis of the findings obtained that this method is fairly reliable in detecting the pathological process in the cerebrospinal canal including secondary changes in its membranes and cerebrospinal radicals with the vessels attached to the latter which can develop in some forms of spinal diseases. While admitting the diagnostic significance of radioisotopic, roentgenocontrast and other methods of studying the spinal cord the authors consider spinal endoscopy to be fairly promising in terms of the topic and differential diagnosis of various disorders of the spinal cord, membranes and radicals which is crucial for early surgical of therapeutic management of the disease.

[Possibilities of the use of rigid and flexible ophthalmoendoscopes in the diagnosis and treatment of intraocular pathology].

The authors analyse the potentialities of the rigid and flexible fiber optics-based ophthalmoendoscopes, made in this country, in the diagnosis and treatment of impairments and diseases of the eyeball. The endoscopes have been employed during intraocular interventions in 18 patients with various abnormalities of the posterior segment of the eye. Comparison of the rigid (MD-71M) and flexible (OGE-1) endoscopes has shown the advantages of the latter design for intraocular surgery. Prospects in the use of ophthalmoendoscopy are outlined. The authors emphasize the possibility of surgery on a 'closed eye' with the use of a flexible endoscope in cases when the transparency of the anterior optic media is essentially reduced or absent; this limits the need in traumatic surgical interventions like the 'open sky'.
