[Experimental and morphological results of using carbon foam in the formation of the locomotor stump after enucleation]. / Eksperimental'nye i morfologicheskie rezul'taty vzhivleniia uglerodnoi peny dlia formirovaniia oporno-dvigatel'noi kul'ti posle énukleatsii.

Syntactic carbon foam implants were used for the formation of the stump after unilateral enucleation in 24 rabbits. Clinical follow-up of the experimental animals demonstrated positive results of using syntactic carbon foam for plastic ophthalmosurgery. No complications, such as migration, infection, denudation, or rejection were observed in the immediate or late periods after surgery. Results of morphologic examinations of tissues adjacent to implants, carried out at different terms, are presented.
