Mastering the infant donor eye: a new device for obtaining corneoscleral buttons for storage and corneal discs for keratoplasty.
نویسنده
چکیده
The design and use of a new device for obtaining corneoscleral buttons for storage and corneal discs for keratoplasty from neonatal and adult donor eyes is described. The device is simple to use and eliminates most of the difficulties in handling infant donor eyes. It thus minimises the risk of damage to the corneal endothelium and the formation of stretch striae, which reduce the quality of the donor material for transplantation.

Evaluation of a new system for obtaining donor lamellar grafts.
PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of a new system for obtaining corneal lamellar grafts of preset sizes. The system consists of the combination of an artificial anterior chamber (MALKS) and an automated microkeratotome (MASYK). METHODS A prospective study was performed. Lamellar tissue was obtained with the microkeratotome from 40 human corneoscleral buttons mounted in the artificial anteri...
متن کاملOrgan culture: the method of choice for preservation of human donor corneas.
The first successful penetrating keratoplasty in a human was performed as early as 1906 by Zirm. The tissue was obtained from the eye of a living donor requiring enucleation. Much has changed since then. Advances in surgical instrumentation and techniques and the introduction of antibiotics and corticosteroids in the 1950s significantly improved the success rate of corneal transplantation. Cons...

Purpose: To determine the etiologic factors on rejection and failure rates and ocular surface changes after corneal transplantation by either DALK or PKP, in cases of keratoconus (KCN). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, considering the existing data, patients with keratoconus referring to Labbafinejad Medical Center from 2006 to 2016, who underwent corneal transplantation, were enrolled a...
متن کاملUse of four asymmetric marks to orient the donor graft during Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty
Introduction Maintaining the correct orientation of the donor graft is important during Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). We describe a new method of marking the donor graft prior to DMEK. Methods Twelve eyes of 10 patients with bullous keratopathy who underwent DMEK were retrospectively analysed. Donor discs were created by stripping the endothelium-Descemet's membrane lay...
متن کاملEccentric lamellar keratolimbal grafts harvested with a manually guided microkeratome. Technical report.
BACKGROUND To perform lamellar keratolimbal allograft transplantation in a one-step procedure with a single graft, we investigated the feasibility of harvesting eccentric lamellar keratolimbal grafts from conventionally processed corneoscleral buttons using a manually guided microkeratome in conjunction with an artificial anterior chamber system. METHODS We used the Moria LSK-One microkeratom...
