[Experimental and morphological results of implantation of carbon felt in plastic surgery of the locomotor stump and accessory system of the eye].

Carbon felt (carbotextime) was used to form a stump after enucleation and for plastic repair of the accessory system of the eye in 56 rabbits. Sixteen of these animals were controls in whom silicon implants were used. Comparative analysis of clinical follow-up of experimental animals showed good results of using carbon felt in plastic ophthalmic surgery. Use of silicon implants was associated with a more manifest inflammatory reaction, and there were cases of the implant migration and spontaneous rejection. No complications in early or late postoperative periods were observed in the experimental group. Results of morphologic studies of the tissues adjacent to the implant in various periods postoperation are presented in detail.
