Removal of large foreign bodies made of thermoplastic material from the eye.

Purpose: To present the results of research aimed at developing a new method of minimally invasive removal of an intraocular foreign body (IOFB) from the eye cavity.

Methods: The main idea was to fix the IOFB onto the edge of a laser probe, which is transsclerally injected into the eye. After that, the IOFB is fixed at the end of the laser probe and removed transpupillary from the eye through an incision in the cornea.

[A porous coral-like structure - a new insight into the morphology of the inner limiting membrane of the retina?].

Unlabelled: To date, the internal limiting membrane (ILM), specifically, the side facing the retina, has never been studied by two parallel, mutually complementary methods. This is an attempt to explain favorable results of ILM peeling in various macular pathologies.

Aim: By employing scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), to identify morphological features of epiretinal samples removed during vitrectomy in patients with lamellar macular hole (LMH) or epiretinal membrane (ERM).

Surgical management of exudative maculopathies: preliminary report.

A new surgical approach to the management of exudative maculopathies has been developed including the transvitreal route. As a result of surgery the subretinal spaces are drained and their viscous content removed. A special tool was designed for this operation.
