PurposeTo report a new surgical technique for excising pediatric corneal limbal dermoid and the post-resection ocular surface reconstruction.MethodsWe describe a method of deep lamellar excision followed by sutureless multilayered amniotic membrane transplantation in surgical management of corneal limbal dermoid.ResultThis technique achieves a rapid corneal re-epithelization, reduces post-operative pain, and will diminish post-operative scarring. Preoperative corneal astigmatism will persist.ConclusionThis method offers an alternative surgical approach in comparison to simple excision in removal of simple pediatric corneal limbal dermoids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
