Excimer laser "corneal shaping": a new technique for customized trephination in penetrating keratoplasty

Abstract: We present the first experimental study of keratoplasty with freely selected transplant geometry and perfect congruence of donor button and recipient bed. The application of this technique in certain corneal disorders in humans will offer improved treatment options in the future.

“…Additionally, to create a smoother graft-host interface and more accurate incision depth in LK, recently-developed techniques (such as excimer laser and femtosecond laser) can be applied to prepare the donor graft and recipient bed. These methods can extensively prevent high astigmatism as well as interlamellar opacification, and provide excellent refractive results [29][30][31][32].…”

“…Additionally, to create a smoother graft-host interface and more accurate incision depth in marginal lamellar keratoplasty, recently-developed techniques (such as excimer laser and femtosecond laser) can be applied to prepare the donor graft and recipient bed. These methods can extensively prevent high astigmatism as well as interlamellar opacification, and provide excellent refractive results (Yilmaz et al, 2007;Mian & Shtein, 2007;Sarayba et al, 2007;Schmitz et al, 2003;Soong et al, 2005). Intraoperative keratometry is a simple device but very useful to guide adjusting sutures to create an even suture tension (Gross et al, 1997).…”

“…Schlussfolgerungen: Nach den klinischen Untersuchungen zur Einsatzfähigkeit der entwickelten Technologie am lebenden Auge und zum klinischen postoperativen Verlauf demonstrieren die hier dargestellten histologischen Untersuchungen zur kornealen Wundheilung keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen mechanischer und Laser-Trepanation. Nach [22]. Für den Wundverschluss kamen in beiden Gruppen Einzelknüpfnähte zur Anwendung (Nylon 10.0, Fa.…”

“…Spaltlampenmikroskopische Untersuchungen und Vorderabschnittphotos erfolgten während der ersten drei Wochen wçchentlich, danach in 3-wçchentlichen Intervallen. Hinsichtlich weiterer Details zur klinischen Verlaufsbeobachtung und ihrer Ergebnisse sei auf die entsprechende vorausgegangene Publikation verwiesen [22] Das chirurgische Vorgehen bei den Versuchstieren der Gruppe 1 (mechanische Trepanation) unterschied sich prinzipiell nicht von dem der perforierenden Keratoplastik beim menschlichen Patienten. Unterschiede ergaben sich durch die erheblich dünnere und weichere Hornhaut des Kaninchenauges, welche einen wasserdichten Wundverschluss bei nahezu allen Versuchstieren beider Gruppen verhinderte.…”
