Layered keratoplasty

Layered keratoplasty (K. lamellaris, synonym: non-through) is a keratoplasty operation in which, after removing sections of the cornea, a graft from a donor cornea is applied to its surface.

The operation of layered keratoplasty is performed in the presence of corneal cataract, keratoconus, keratoglobus, pterygium, bullous keratopathy, corneal dystrophy, cicatricial deformation of the cornea and other diseases that require transplantation of donor material.

In layer-by-layer corneal plastic surgery, a flap of donor material is used, which is applied to the surface of the cornea in several layers.

Layered keratoplasty is a type of eye surgery that is used to correct corneal defects. This is a cosmetic and therapeutic procedure that allows you to change the shape, color and even transparency of the cornea of ​​the eye. Keratoplasty can improve vision and get rid of many problems that are associated with various diseases of the cornea, such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, keratitis, atrophy and others.

Keratoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to restore the transparency of the cornea affected by certain diseases or damaged. Using this technique, it is possible to correct various corneal anomalies and restore visual acuity to the patient.

This type of surgery uses the patient's own tissue as graft material. Synthetic materials such as silicone or other inert and biocompatible artificial fabrics may also be used.

The corneal transplant surgery is performed under local injection anesthesia. The quality of the cornea is first checked using a special device - optical lenses. During the operation, the surgeon performs successive stages: separates the anterior and posterior walls of the eyeball, removes damaged areas of the cornea, prepares donor sites, performs

Layered keratoplasty (Latin Kera - horn, skin; plate and gr. sdr. χέρσθαι - touch) is a surgical method of restoring the outer surface of the cornea. For transplantation after keratoplasty surgery, antiglaucoma therapy is carried out (see also atropine test). Before the operation, it is necessary to do an extensive biochemical blood test, and for corneal resection operations, an X-ray of the skull. Before performing keratoplasty, it is imperative to undergo an additional examination, including an examination by an ophthalmologist, the results of tests of urine, blood and tear fluid. In addition to antiglaucomatous treatment after keratoplasty surgery on an outpatient basis and hospitalization, it is mandatory to wear glasses with plates. After keratoplasty treatment, the condition is monitored
