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 کاملOutcomes from a modified microkeratome-assisted lamellar keratoplasty for keratoconus.
To improve visual and refractive outcomes, microkeratome-assisted lamellar keratoplasty for the treatment of keratoconus (exchange of a 9.0-mm anterior recipient lamella with a 9.0-mm donor lamella, using a 200-μm head for the former and a 300-μm head for the latter) was modified by adding a 6.5-mm incomplete full-thickness incision in the recipient bed before suturing the donor graft in place....
متن کاملUltrastructural analysis of the decellularized cornea after interlamellar keratoplasty and microkeratome-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty in a rabbit model
The decellularized cornea has received considerable attention for use as an artificial cornea. The decellularized cornea is free from cellular components and other immunogens, but maintains the integrity of the extracellular matrix. However, the ultrastructure of the decellularized cornea has yet to be demonstrated in detail. We investigated the influence of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on t...
متن کاملAnterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
lar keratoplasty is not new. Mühlbauer was the first to describe a technique for anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) in 1840.1 Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) has long been the standard treatment for severe corneal pathology. Lamellar surgery has endured significant technical challenges since its inception. The posterior corneal surface is invisible through an operating microscope, due to the s...
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...
