title: [Impact of the quality of surgical treatment of subconjunctival ruptures of the sclera on their outcome].
abstract: The paper deals with the analysis of the outcome of severe eye contusion in scleral ruptures that are subject to none or inadequate debridement. In 2004, a group of 85 patients undergone enucleation due to severe posttraumatic changes was examined to analyze the outcomes of misdiagnosis of ruptures of the scleral capsule of the eye in its contusions and penetrating wounds. Examination of the eyeball after its removal revealed different defects of the optic scleral capsule in 6 (8.2%) cases of the 85 patients undergone enucleation. Each case pointing to the undiagnosed pathology of the eye during primary debridement and surgical treatment of these patients or to the partial debridement of scleral wounds is noteworthy. It should be noted that a primary care involving debridement was delivered to virtually all patients in different ophthalmological facilities. The paper gives a detailed account of each case, by describing its history data, the state of the eye, the performed studies and operation, and presents photos demonstrating each case. In eye contusion, it is necessary to adequately evaluate its severity and to reveal the whole complex of injuries and also to pay attention to the quality of debridement of wounds since adequate containment of a wound of the eye and adaptation of its edges can preserve the eye as an organ in most given cases.
