title: [Use of antibiotics for preventing suppurative inflammatory complications in scleroplastic operations for myopic disease].
abstract: Sodium or potassium benzylpenicillin in a dose of 200000 units 6 times a day and streptomycin sulfate in a dose of 0.5 g twice a day were used intramuscularly during the postoperative period for prevention of purulent inflammatory complications in 172 out of 187 patients with myopic disease subjected to scleroplastic operations performed according to the methods of Shevelev-Kertin, N. N. Pivovarov and V. I. Savinykh. The antibiotic use decreased the period of the inpatient treatment from 28+/-2 to 14+/-2 days and lowered the levels of tenonitis and edema of the eye mucosa. No purulent dissolution of the orbital tissues was observed in the patients.
