Abstract
- PURPOSE
We assessed the effect of transplantation of capsule on the change of gross and fine structures of the experimentally induced capsular rupture of porcine lens.
METHODS
A rupture of 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 mm in diameter was made on the anterior capsule of the lens and the anterior capsule was transplanted using lyophilized fibrin adhesive(Greenplast(R)) to cover the rupture.
RESULTS
Gross and transmission electron microscopic examinations revealed at day 1, 3 and 7 that the progression of lens opacification was delayed and the stability of microscopic fine structure was less disturbed in the lenses with a rupture of 3.0 mm or less or receiving capsule transplantation less than 4 days after capsule rupture. In the lenses with a rupture of 5 mm or larger or receiving transplantation more than 3 days after capsule rupture, there were no significant differences in gross and microscopic findings between transplantation and control groups
CONCLUSION
We applied transplantation concept on the lens. Further studies are needed for transplantation of lens capsule.
