"Karpova Flap-Pocket: the life and legacy of an outstanding Soviet ophthalmologist"

Irina Nikolaevna Kurlova, better known as Karpova Flap-Pocket, was a prominent Soviet ophthalmologist who worked from the 1920s to the 1950s. Her scientific research and clinical achievements in the field of ophthalmology had a huge impact on the development of this medical discipline in the Soviet Union.

Irina Kurlova was born in 1894 in Moscow. In 1917, she graduated from the Moscow Medical Institute and began working as an ophthalmologist. In the 1920s, her scientific research attracted the attention of many scientists, and she was invited to work at the Central Institute of Ophthalmology in Moscow. There she began researching various treatments for glaucoma, cataracts and other eye diseases.

In the 1930s, Karpova Flap-Pocket began to develop a new method of treating glaucoma, which became known as the Karpova method. She also invented an instrument called the pocket flap, used to remove cataracts. This tool has significantly speeded up the cataract removal procedure and made it safer.

In the 1940s, Karpova Loskut-Karman continued to work to improve treatment methods for g.

Karp's pouch flap is a term used in ophthalmology to describe a cataract surgery procedure. This operation involves removing cataracts, which is one of the main causes of vision loss in older people.

Karpov flap pocket surgery is performed successfully in many clinics in Russia, for example at the Medintercom Clinical Institute, as well as in other institutions in Russia. This operation is called a carp flap - a pocket. The term was coined and this operation was first performed by Dr. Regina Iosifovna Karpilova at the Ophthalmological Hospital No. 3 of the Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 17, Moscow. Operation tactics have been carried out using this method for many years, in St. Petersburg at the National Medical Research Center named after. S.N. Fedorov, Moscow Research Institute of Eye Diseases named after. Helmholtz and others.

This procedure is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, using only original instruments and materials to ensure the accuracy of the surgical intervention and prevent the development of complications in the postoperative period.

The carp pocket flap procedure involves the surgeon creating a special pocket of tissue in the area where most of the cataract is present (the hole size is 2 mm). After this, a small perforated flap of artificial crystal film is suspended from the frame (often called intracapsular perfusion). In addition, the surgeon needs to stretch and install a thread guide around the bottom of the bag. When these threads pull out the cataract cure, the artificial crystal film (see-Intralapirasperussia) moves into the eye, replacing the cataract, and helps form natural cataract tissue. Within a few days, hard transparent tissue forms at the site of the cataract fold, which is necessary to restore vision. Preservation of the natural lens preserves the central point of view and provides better quality of vision than when combined with the standard intracapsular insertion technique. This surgery may be a good option for young patients under 45 years of age, since the surgical technique avoids the development of peripheral and direct gaze problems. This operation is performed only by experienced surgeons using special techniques and using original high-quality medical instruments.
