Management of Unilateral Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency by Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation – Our Experience
Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation (SLET) has been proposed recently for care of total Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) secondary to alkali burn of cornea [1]. Reportedly it combines advantages of conjunctival limbal auto grafting [2] and cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation [3] by being a single-stage, affordable procedure utilizing minimal donor tissue. Besides, it is also rep...
متن کاملPhenotypic study after cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation for limbal stem cell deficiency.
OBJECTIVE To report phenotypic analysis of epithelia before and following cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation (CLET) for eyes with limbal stem cell deficiency. METHODS Six patients with limbal stem cell deficiency (3 with alkali burns, 2 with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and 1 with pseudo-ocular cicatricial pemphigoid) were subjected to CLET and subsequent keratoplasty. Immunohistochemi...
متن کاملAllo-limbal transplantation in patients with limbal stem cell deficiency.
AIM To report the outcome of a series of patients with stem cell deficiency who underwent allo-limbal transplantation and to describe a technique for this procedure. METHODS Six consecutive patients underwent allo-limbal stem cell transplantation. The primary diagnosis included alkali burn (n = 2), trachoma (n = 1), chronic rosacea blepharitis and kerato-conjunctivitis (n = 1), aniridia (n = ...
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...
متن کاملAmniotic membrane transplantation with and without limbal stem cell transplantation in chemical eye injury.
INTRODUCTION Chemical burns of the eyes are one of the important causes of visual disability. Chemical burns particularly alkali burn may lead to gross limbal stem cell deficiency. Amniotic membrane transplantation with limbal graft is a good method for ocular surface reconstruction. CASE A 39 years male presented to Biratnagar Eye Hospital after 5 months of chemical injury with redness, pain...
