New series of Kuhnt'y operations (extirpatio tarsi) for trachoma
In 1894 prof. Kuhnt performed the first operation to remove the cartilage in a patient who suffered from frequent and severe relapses of pannus. In this patient, the transitional folds were removed much earlier. During the study, the conjunctiva was attached significantly wrinkled, with the process of cicatricial trachoma ended, and the cartilage of the eyelid was greatly thickened throughout. The result of the operation was brilliant: the recurrent pannus soon disappeared, and the cure, as subsequent studies showed, was final.
