Assessment of surgical outcomes of limbal transplantation using simple limbal epithelial transplantation technique in patients with total unilateral limbal deficiency.
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the novel simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) technique, which reduces the risk of iatrogenic limbal stem cell deficiency in the donor eye. Four patients with total unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency received a limbal graft, measuring 4 mm × 2 mm, from the contralateral healthy eye in a single surgical procedure. The graft was di...
متن کاملManagement 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 کاملcultivated limbal and oral mucosal epithelial transplantation
stem cells located at the limbus , are the ultimate source for regeneration of the corneal epithelium in the normal and traumatized states. when limbal stem cells are dysfunctional or deficient, limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd) develops. its surgical management depends on laterality and severity of corneal-limbal involvement. conventional methods of stem cell transplantation are conjunctiva...
متن کاملMinor ipsilateral simple limbal epithelial transplantation (mini-SLET) for pterygium treatment
We describe a novel surgical technique for pterygium removal taking advantage of the properties of amniotic membrane and limbal epithelial stem cells. A total of 10 eyes underwent pterygium excision with amniotic membrane coverage of the bare sclera and placement of pieces of limbal epithelium in a linear fashion in the affected limbal area covered by a second amniotic membrane using fibrin glu...
متن کاملSurvival of donor epithelial cells after limbal stem cell transplantation.
PURPOSE To determine the long-term fate of donor epithelial cells after limbal allograft transplantation. METHODS Corneal buttons and peripheral blood leukocytes were obtained at the time of penetrating keratoplasty from three patients who had undergone a successful limbal allograft transplantation. Microdissection was used to remove the corneal epithelial cells from the button. The presence ...
