Purpose: To compare by optical microscopy, tissue reaction caused by the Alloplant ™ to conjunctiva and backs of 24 rabbits. Methods: All rabbits underwent implantation of Alloplant ™ on the inner third of the lower eyelid, replacing the tarsal conjunctiva of one eye. After thirty days six rabbits (Group I) were sacrificed and lower eyelids of both sides and a back fragment (control) routed to optical microscopy. After sixty days six rabbits (group II) were sacrificed and their eyelids and […]

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a resposta inflamatória em coróide, retina e vítreo nos olhos de coelhos submetidos à crioterapia seguida de injeção intravítrea de triancinolona acetonida e comparar com os olhos de coelhos que foram submetidos à crioterapia seguida de injeção intravítrea de solução salina. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo caso-controle. Foram realizados procedimentos cirúrgicos em 11 coelhos albinos, sendo excluídos os animais que não completaram o pós-operatório ou apresentaram complicações intra ou pós-operatórias. Todos os coelhos foram submetidos à peritomia […]

PURPOSE: To evaluate the inflammatory response in the choroid, retina and vitreous in rabbit eyes underwent cryotherapy followed by intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and to compare with those underwent cryotherapy followed by intravitreal injection of saline solution. METHODS: This is a prospective case-control study. Surgical procedures were performed in eleven rabbits. Two animals were excluded because they did not complete the postoperative period or had intraoperative or postoperative complications. All rabbits underwent superior temporal peritomy and transscleralcryotherapy in both eyes. After […]
