“…The management of non-traumatic corneal perforations is challenging and must be focused on restoring the ocular integrity aiming to preserve visual function 3. There are a variety of approaches to treat these perforations, including non-surgical procedures like bandage soft contact lenses and tissue glues such as cyanoacrylate patch, and surgical treatments like multilayered amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT), conjunctival flaps and tectonic penetrating keratoplasty (PK) 4.…”

“…Çeşitli şekil, boyut ve pozisyondaki tektonik greftler diğer tedavi yöntemlerine cevapsız glob bütünlüğünün tehlikeye girdiği kornea hastalıklarında kullanılabilir. 12 Santral kornea perforasyonu ve desmatoseli boyutuna bağlı olarak santral PKP veya siyanoakrilat yapıştırıcı ile etkili olarak tedavi edilebilir. Siyanoakrilat yapıştırıcı sadece küçük kornea perforasyonu ve desmatoselinin tedavisi için uygundur.…”

“…In the 1960s, corneal transplantation for the treatment of refractory corneal ulcers and impending corneal perforations was discouraged because of frequently associated complications 8 . With the evolution of improved surgical techniques, therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty became an increasingly popular method of managing impending corneal perforation and refractory corneal inflammation 9 –13 . However, the visual and functional results in therapeutic grafts are suboptimal 6 , 9 …”

“…Sclerokeratoplasty, a newer surgical technique, has been previously undertaken for a variety of diseases, including destructive diseases of the cornea, 13 Terrien’s degeneration, Acanthamoeba keratitis, peripheral corneal ulcer 5 and epibulbar tumour 14 . It not only restores the integrity of the globe, but also helps in the liberal removal of actively infected tissues.…”
