[Anterior capsulotomy using a diathermy cutter. Experimental principles (1)].
In experimental studies a new method for anterior capsulotomy of the crystalline lens was developed. The anterior lens capsule can be cut by diathermy in such a manner that this action can be reproduced. The effects of current are illustrated by means of light-microscopic sections, which are also helpful in estimating the degree of surgical trauma. Advantages of the new method are outlined and discussed, with references to other publications.
