Targeted corneal transplantation techniques like anterior lamellar keratoplasty offer improved outcomes and reduce donor cornea shortages. These advanced methods are becoming preferred for specific eye conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Transplantation Biology

Background:

  • Corneal transplantation has evolved from penetrating keratoplasty to selective tissue replacement.
  • Lamellar keratoplasty techniques selectively replace diseased corneal layers, avoiding endothelial rejection.
  • Endothelial keratoplasty offers better outcomes for endothelial diseases, including improved ocular surface and faster visual recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evolving techniques in corneal transplantation.
  • To highlight the advantages of targeted corneal transplantation, including component corneal surgery.
  • To address the challenge of donor cornea scarcity.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of novel surgical techniques in corneal transplantation.

  • Focus on anterior lamellar keratoplasty and endothelial keratoplasty.
  • Review of advancements enabling better donor tissue utilization.

    • Main Results:

    • Anterior lamellar and endothelial keratoplasty are now first-choice surgeries for selected cases.
    • These techniques improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery.
    • Selective transplantation allows one donor cornea to benefit multiple recipients.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding targeted corneal transplantation promotes component corneal surgery.
    • This approach can help overcome donor cornea shortages, particularly in developing regions.
    • Adoption of these techniques is crucial for advancing corneal surgery globally.
