[Iridocyclectomy with scleral flap]
Abstract:
In this paper the author describes a modification of iridocyclectomy. Before opening the bulbus and removing the malignant melanoma, a lamellar scleral flap is formed with its base at the limbus. After extirpation of the tumor the area is "plastically" covered with this flap. This modification was used on 5 patients; it produces a firmer scar and prevents the development of a staphyloma.
