Minimal conjunctival limbal autograft for total limbal stem cell deficiency.
PURPOSE To report the results of one 60 degrees conjunctival limbal autograft (CLAU) combined with amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation for an eye with total limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). METHODS One eye of a patient with chronic total LSCD and symblepharon caused by chemical burn was subjected to symblepharon lysis, removal of pannus from corneal surface, AM transplantation to cover ...
متن کاملPterygium treatment with limbal-conjunctival autograft transplantation.
The objective of this pilot study was to examine the usefulness of limbal autograft transplantation (LCAT) in the treatment of recurrent pterygium. Eleven eyes with advanced recurrent pterygium underwent LCAT. All eyes were previously treated at least two times either by simple excision (10) or conjunctival rotation autograft (1). In two eyes (18.18%) symblepharon was present at the time of sur...
متن کاملSingle Block Conjunctival Limbal Autograft for Unilateral Total Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency
Dear Editor, In the treatment of unilateral total limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), conjunctival limbal autograft (CLAU) surgery taken from the healthy fellow eye with or without amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) is one of the main therapeutic alternatives. There are some controversies regarding the optimal size of the limbal graft necessary for complete and stable epithelialization of ...
متن کاملTransplantation of amniotic membrane and limbal autograft for patients with recurrent pterygium associated with symblepharon.
AIM Treatment of recurrent pterygium associated with symblepharon requires both suppression of fibrosis and reconstruction of limbal barrier. To achieve this, human amniotic membrane was transplanted and limbal autografts performed. METHODS Four patients with severe symblepharon resulting from multiple surgeries for pterygium were treated. Human amniotic membrane was obtained at caesarean sec...
متن کاملLong-term Outcome of Limbal Stem Cell Transplantation for the Management of Total Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency due to a Chemical Burn
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcome of limbal stem cell transplantation (LSCT) for the management of total limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) due to chemical burn in Labbafinejad Medical Center (LMC). Methods: Records of patients with a history of severe (i.e. grade III and IV) chemical burns, who were referred to LMC and underwent LSCT, were reviewed and data including demographic chara...
