title: [Healing of lamellar corneal grafts in rabbit eyes after gluing with highly concentrated fibrinogen].
abstract: 24 rabbit eyes were submitted to lamellar corneal keratoplasty, the grafts being fixed by highly concentrated fibrinogen. Adhesion of the graft seemed satisfactory after 5 min, and the postoperative oedema cleared within 2 weeks. However, biomicroscopy and histology revealed a limited axial cicatrization while in the majority of cases marginal wound adaptation was insufficient. In 5 of 8 eyes followed up more than one week clear grafts were obtained, surrounded by a low marginal step.
