Abstract
- Management of the tumor of the iris and ciliary body is a difficult prablem. 244 cases of iridocyclectomy rather than enucleation had been reported from 1912 to 1970. But there seems to be no histopathological report. The author performed experimental iridocyclectomy in 20 albino rabbits, and observed clinically and pathologically one week interval for 6 weeks post-operathively. Surprisingly only a few cases of complications such as hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment were observed. Post-operative wound healing was good. So the author concluded, "Iridocyclectomy itself isa delicate and difficult surgery, but skillful technique in a definitely indicated case using a operating microscope will get good result".
