[Cannulation of the lacrimal ducts after injury].

During the development of a Czechoslovak silicone cannula with an external diameter of 0.9 +/- 0.1 mm for reconstructive surgery of the lacrimal pathways a modification was elaborated to ensure adequately the inner cannulation of lacrimal canals, discontinuous due to injury. The surgical method involves the insertion of the cannula designed by the authors by means of fixed silk for sutures by means of a fixed loop at the ends of the cannula. Using a pigtail probe, first the stitch is drawn through the lacrimal pathways and then the fixed cannula.

A silastic prosthesis for total replacement of the middle-ear ossicular chain, its acoustic properties and clinical application.

The authors designed and made a prosthesis for total replacement of the middle ear ossicular chain (TORP) from Silastic MDX 44-516. A great advantage of this substitute is that it can easily be modified to a prosthesis for partial replacement of the middle-ear ossicular chain (PORP). The transfer properties of the PORP type prosthesis were verified by using an electroacoustic model measurement. Very good anatomical and functional results were obtained in the clinical testing of both types of middle-ear substitutes. No undesired reactions to the implanted polymer were observed.
