Alberth Béla: Surgical treatment of caustic injuries of the eye (Budapest, 1968)

В. ALBERTH SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CAUSTIC INJURIES OF THE EYE Problems of the surgical management of the so-called hopeless cases of se­vere caustic injuries are discussed in the monograph. In cases without symblepharon total lamellar or per­forating keratoplasty is performed. Complications arising after these oper­ations and their prevention by com­bining transplantation with immuno­suppression are dealt with. The author is the first to show, by a mathematical­­statistical method, that ABO-compati­­bility plays an important part in opaci­fication of the transplant. In cases of symblepharon authohaemoinjec­­tion, extraconieal keratoplasty as well as skin, amnion, peritoneum, cadaver conjunctiva and oral mucous mem­brane grafting have been performed. Fresh caustic injuries have been suc­cessfully treated with á chaud kerato­plasty. AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ PUBLISHING HOUSE OF THE HUNGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES BUDAPEST
