Deep lamellar keratoplasty on air with lyophilised tissue.
Deep lamellar keratoplasty on air involves injecting air into the corneal stroma to expand it to several times its normal thickness. This method is designed to facilitate dissection of the deep stroma and reduce the risk of perforation of Descemet's membrane when carrying out deep lamellar keratoplasty. We have modified the technique by using prelathed freeze-dried donor tissue and report our r...
متن کاملDeep lamellar keratoplasty with lyophilised tissue in the management of keratoconus.
AIMS Data are presented on the use of deep lamellar keratoplasty (DLK) using lyophilised donor corneal tissue, in the management of patients with keratoconus (KC). METHOD The results of DLK on 44 eyes (42 patients) are reported. The mean patient age was 29.8 years (range 10-56). Mean follow up was 25 months (range 6-100). In seven patients with mental handicap or severe mental illness, the co...
متن کاملDeep lamellar keratoplasty combined with cataract surgery.
We used a surgical technique that combines deep lamellar keratoplasty, phacoemulsification, and intraocular lens implantation for treating patients with cataract and corneal stromal disease. Deep lamellar dissection of the cornea was first performed with viscoelastic substances (hyaluronate sodium) until the highly transparent Descemet membrane solely remained. We then created a short corneal t...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Failure of Keratoplasty in Keratoconus: Penetrating vs. Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Purpose: To determine the etiologic factors on rejection and failure rates and ocular surface changes after corneal transplantation by either DALK or PKP, in cases of keratoconus (KCN). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, considering the existing data, patients with keratoconus referring to Labbafinejad Medical Center from 2006 to 2016, who underwent corneal transplantation, were enrolled a...
متن کاملManual Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Keratoplasty is considered the most successful organ transplantation procedure in the world. Reisinger was the first to use the term keratoplasty (Reisinger, 1824), when he suggested using an animal’s eye to provide donor corneal tissue for corneal transplantation in a human. In 1906, the first successful penetrating keratoplasty was performed by Edward Konrad Zirm on a patient suffering from b...
