SURGICAL TREATMENT OF CORNEAL ULCERS AND THEIR COMPLICATIONS USING TRANSPLANTATION TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new surgical method for the treatment of corneal ulcers.
Material and methods. All patients underwent surgical treatment, namely lamellar keratoplasty and corneal grafting with an autoconjunctival flap using the allografts for Alloplant surgery. The group under study included 11 patients (5 males and 6 females) with the age ranging from 17 to 80, with complicated and uncomplicated corneal ulcers.
Results. With the operations performed, we have managed to stop the inflammatory process in the 91% of the cases (a recurrence of the ulcerative process was observed only in one case). The increase in visual acuity in the long-term postoperative period was in 63% of cases.
Conclusion. Lamellar keratoplasty with an allograft followed by the autoconjunctival flap plasty can be successfully used to treat corneal ulcers including the complicated ones. The grafts used do not require special storage conditions are available for use in emergency.
