Abstract
The article presents the results of an experimental morphological study of biointegration of different eyelid weight implants used for paralytic lagophthalmos correction. To investigate biointegration features of gold monolithic and chain implants. The study enrolled 11 Chinchilla rabbits (22 eyelids). Light and scanning electron microscopy was performed 2 weeks, 1, 2, 3 and 6 months after the implantation. Over the whole follow-up period chain implants capsules remained more integrated with surrounding connective tissue than those of monolithic implants. The obtained results prove better immobilization of a gold chain implant preventing it from dislocation in the late postoperative period.
