title: [Basal iridotomy as one of the crucial stages in the surgical treatment of cataract].
abstract: Results of extracapsular cataract extraction performed in 197 patients are analysed. Of them, peripheral iridectomy was made in 115, and iridotomy in 82 patients (in 10--parallel to limbus, in 72--radially towards limbus). The best results were recorded in patients with radial basal iridotomy: no complications were practically observed, manipulations in the posterior and anterior chambers of the eye were less dangerous, good visual and cosmetic results were obtained with a considerable shortening of postoperative bed-days.
