Abstract

A new modification of plastic repair of deep defects of the cornea was performed: autoconjunctival plasty of the cornea with a flap on a pedicle with its rigid fixation in the corneal bed. The operation was carried out in 30 patients with infectious, trophic, and autoimmune involvement of the cornea, 24 of these with perforation of the cornea. The patients were observed for 1 year after the operation. The conjunctival-corneal complex formed in 24 cases, dislocation of the flap without its necrosis occurred in 2 cases, and necrosis of the flap in 4 cases. This modification of conjunctival plasty of the cornea can serve as the operation of choice in urgent ophthalmic surgery in cases when transplantation material is unavailable.
