[Histopathological findings following cryo-coagulation of the ciliary body with a nitrogen-cooled probe].
A new cryoprobe was investigated in rabbits for experimental coagulation of the ciliary body. In a one-step procedure, the cyclodestructive effect was achieved by cooling the cryoprobe down to -100 degrees C without significant lens damage. The histological investigation showed extensive necrosis of the ciliary epithelium 2 h and 2 days after the freezing damage. After 2 weeks and 2 months, fibrous atrophy of the entire segment of the ciliary body could be observed.
