title: [Experience of garasone use in surgical practice].
abstract: The efficiency of garasone (Schering-Plau) in preoperative and postoperative treatment was evaluated in 50 patients. Controls (48 pts) were treated by combinations of antibiotics (0.25% levomycetin and 20% sodium sulfacyl solutions) and antiinflammatory drugs (0.1% dexamethasone and maxidex). The postoperative inflammatory reaction ceased much sooner in the patients treated with garasone than in the controls. Conjunctival edema, corneal edema, and descemetitis completely disappeared on days 4-5 after the operation in the study group and only on day 6 in the control. Higher efficiency of garasone can be attributed to the advantages of its components: wide-spectrum gentamicin and its high bioavailability for the eyeball tissues and an effective steroid betamethasone. One more advantage of garasone is that it is convenient to use (a single flask, no need in repeated instillations). The results recommend garasone for wide use for prevention and treatment of postoperative inflammatory diseases of the eyes.
