Microkeratome-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
Microkeratome-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty has emerged as a surgical option for conditions affecting the clarity of the outer 200 mum of the cornea. Herein we describe the outcome of a simple procedure in which the excimer laser can be used to augment deep tissue removal after both recipient bed and donor graft are prepared with the microkeratome. Our noncomparative interventional ca...
متن کاملMicrokeratome versus femtosecond laser predissection of corneal grafts for anterior and posterior lamellar keratoplasty.
PURPOSE To compare 2 different techniques for predissection of human anterior and posterior lamellar corneal grafts for eye bank storage. METHODS A mechanical microkeratome (group 1, N = 5) and a femtosecond laser (group 2, N = 5) were used to dissect intended 350-microm-deep lamellar planes in deepithelialized donor corneas mounted on an artificial anterior chamber. These corneas were replac...
متن کاملComparison of femtosecond laser-assisted deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty and penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus
BACKGROUND To compare outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (FSL-DALK) and penetrating keratoplasty (FSL-PK) for the treatment of keratoconus. METHODS Twenty eight eyes underwent FSL-DALK (consisted of 12 eyes in the FSL-DALKa subgroup without baring the Descemet's membrane and 16 eyes in the FSL-DALKb subgroup baring the Descemet's membrane using big-bubb...
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...
متن کاملEasy Bubble: Pachymetry-assisted Big-Bubble Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
We present a simple, effective and reproducible technique for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Using a diamond knife, set at 90% of corneal thickness (90 degrees meridian), at the limbus a radial incision was made and a corneal pocket was created. A specially designed cannula was placed deep into the corneal stroma and air was injected for stromal dissection. The air bubble pushed down Desc...
