[Scleral fortification in children at high risk of progressive myopia].
To improve scleroplasty efficacy in children at a high risk of postoperative progress of myopia the authors have developed a new surgical method involving increase of the transplant size and its preoperative treatment with a foamy composition intended for filling the body cavities. Experimental biomechanical and morphologic studies have demonstrated that such treatment improves the transplant elasticity and strength, provides its better adhesion and fixation to the sclera at the expense of excellent adhesive properties of the foamy composition, and intensifies revascularization and stabilization processes in the connective tissue. Such surgery was effectively performed in 46 patients.
