[Lamellar keratoplasty, ipsilateral rotation-autokeratoplasty and contralateral autokeratoplasty (author's transl)].

During the years 1967--1977, there were performed about 500 mostly perforating keratoplasties. Among these there were special groups: 50 lamellar keratoplasties (43 central, 7 marginal), 5 perforating ipsilateral rotation-autokeratoplasties 2 perforating contralateral autokeratoplasties. The results encourage to use these special keratoplasties more often instead of the usual perforating keratoplasty.

Corneal Diseases

[Cryotherapy for glaucoma (author's transl)].

After a short survey of the development of thermosurgery for glaucoma our own experiences with 120 cryocoagulation operations of the ciliary body are described. We observed postoperatively a general reduction of intraocular pressure--but pressure regulation appeared in only 1/3 of cases.

[Spontaneous rupture of nylon sutures in the cornea spontaneously (author's transl)].

In 8 patients rupture of nylon sutures in the cornea occurred spontaneously. This happened four times after a corneal cataract extraction, three times after a perforating keratoplasty and once after a perforating corneal injury. The rupture appeared three times 6 1/2 to 7 months after the operation, once after 1 1/2 months. In the other 4 cases the time of rupture is not known. The examination of the nylon sutures with a microscope showed a lamellar-concentric reduction in the straight parts of the sutures and superficial and deep sagittal in the curved parts of the sutures.
