Lichtmikroskopische Untersuchungen zur kornealen Wundheilung nach tierexperimenteller perforierender Keratoplastik nach Excimer-Laser-Trepanation in freier Form

Abstract

Experimental follow-up studies to evaluate the feasibility of the developed technology of laser trephination in the living eye have shown no differences between conventional mechanical and excimer laser trephination with a guided beam. The present histology study also does not demonstrate any significant differences in corneal wound healing between the two trephination groups. Although excimer laser trephination along metal masks has now been established for several years, the here presented technique for trephination with individualised transplant geometries appears to be a valuable addition to the surgical repertoire in the presence of selected corneal pathologies.

“…Das BB 1-und BB 2-Zeichen ist diagnostisch hinweisend für eine Keratomykose geworden [3]. Das Erlanger Verfahren der nicht mechanischen Hornhauttrepanation mittels Excimer-Laser wurde als Keratoplastik in freier Form modifiziert [4]. BB etablierte den "Magdeburger Dreistufenplan" zur Prophylaxe und Therapie der Endophthalmitis [5].…”
