keratoplasties การใช้

• Not all patients with diseased corneas are candidates for endothelial keratoplasty.
• The study on using conductive keratoplasty to correct presbyopia started three months ago.
• Conductive keratoplasty, or CK, seeks to shrink collagen tissue using radio waves.
• 11-Two level keratoplasty; International Ophthalmology Clinics 1963 Sept Volume 3 Issue 3
• The device is currently machined from medical grade penetrating keratoplasty ( corneal transplantation ).
• Keratoplasty simply means surgery to the cornea.
• Penetrating keratoplasty, a common type of corneal transplantation, is commonly performed for extensive corneal dystrophy.
• With penetrating keratoplasty ( corneal transplant ), the long-term results are good to excellent.
• Lamellar keratoplasty encompasses several techniques which selectively replace diseased layers of the cornea while leaving healthy layers in place.
• Full thickness corneal grafts ( penetrating keratoplasty-PKP ) remain the most widely practiced form of corneal transplantation.
• Historically, penetrating keratoplasty, or full thickness corneal transplantation, was the treatment of choice for irreversible endothelial failure.
• Hersh was one of two investigators to present the conductive keratoplasty ( CK ) procedure to the FDA device panel.
• One way of reducing the risk of rejection is to use a technique called deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty ( DALK ).
• Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty ( DMEK ) is the most recent EK technique in which an isolated Descemet membrane is transplanted.
• The new procedure, called laser thermal keratoplasty, LTK for short, is designed to correct the problems that Mulroy had.
• In June the FDA approved a new procedure called laser thermal keratoplasty for treatment of mild to moderate farsightedness in people over 40.
• Another treatment, called diode laser thermal keratoplasty, or DTK, is expected to begin its clinical trials in this country soon.
• The new " conductive keratoplasty, " or CK, is a little less invasive than today's laser surgery.
• Superficial corneal dystrophies do not need a penetrating keratoplasty as the deeper corneal tissue is unaffected, therefore a lamellar keratoplasty may be used instead.
