title: [Cross-stitch suture in perforating keratoplasty (author's transl)].
abstract: 50 perforating keratoplastic operations were performed with cross-stitch suture in about 1 1/2 years. In 10 patients, the cornea was directly transplanted from the eye of the donor to that of the patient; in 40 cases, the cornea of the donor had been preserved for a short time. 49 patients had a clear transplant at the time of discharge about 3 weeks after the operation.
