Use of an Autologous Lamellar Scleral Graft to Repair a Scleral Melt After Mitomycin Application
نویسنده
چکیده
Mitomycin (MMC) has been associated with a variety of complications, including corneoscleral melt. We report the successful repair of a scleral melt with a partial thickness autologous scleral graft of the scleral melting. A 55-year-old male patient underwent pterygium resection surgery and intraoperative MMC application. The patient developed a deep melting area that almost reached the choroid layer at the nasal sclera. We repaired scleral defect with a partial thickness autologous scleral graft. Closure of an MMC-associated scleral melting area with an autologous partial thickness scleral graft is an effective and easy-to-use method.

PURPOSE To report a case of autologous transplantation of a free Tenon's graft to repair excessive bleb leakage after trabeculectomy. CASE REPORT A 39-year-old Japanese woman presented with severe hypotony in her left eye. She had undergone trabeculectomy with mitomycin C 14 years ago. Slit-lamp examination showed an ischemic and ruptured bleb, excessive bleb leakage, and an extremely shallow...

A 45-year-old male patient presented with necrotizing scleritis after 2 weeks of having undergone ptyregium surgery with bare sclera technique. Examination revealed a scleral thinning measuring 3 x 3 mm with anterior chamber inflammation. Lamellar scleral graft was dissected from the donor sclera and trephined to the approximate size of the scleral melt. Edges of the host scleral melt were fres...

BACKGROUND Scleromalacia, in the form of scleral thinning, melting, and necrosis, is a potentially serious complication of pterygium excision. This study introduces a new biodegradable material, Ologen™ collagen matrix (OCM), to repair scleral thinning as an alternative to preserved scleral tissue, and evaluates the long-term outcomes of OCM for ocular surface reconstruction surgery. CASE PRE...

AIM To report cases of scleral necrosis after simple pterygium excision in which adjunctive treatment was not used. METHODS We reviewed four patients who presented with scleral melt after pterygium excision without the use of adjunctive treatment in the form of beta irradiation, mitomycin C, or thiotepa. Each patient was thoroughly investigated to exclude underlying disease. RESULTS Certain...
