[Pivovarov's scleroplasty operation--its morphological aspects, individualization and effectiveness]. / Operatsiia skleroplastiki po Pivovarovu--morfologicheskie aspekty, individualizatsiia, éffektivnost'.

To study regularities of donor flaps location in scleroplasty after Pivovarov, 13 operations were performed on cadavers with fixation of the flaps with glue "Moment", subsequent removal of the eye ball and sketching of the grafts position. Three main variants of flap location were distinguished, when the flaps overlapped either the posterior pole or each other in 2-3 layers. By means of the method of factor-geometric analysis using a computer DVK-3, mathematic calculations of the effectiveness of the operation were made. With the help of the computer, a table was created showing the dependence between the anteroposterior axis of the eye and the length of the transplanted grafts, thus allowing to individualize the operation. A positive effect of 260 operations using the sclera dehydrated in the absolute alcohol was achieved in 94.0% of cases.
