[Preliminary report of 10 cases of anterior segment eyeball reconstruction]

We performed anterior segment reconstruction by total penetrating Keratoplasty with scleral rim in 10 patients who had infectious ulceration with total corneal necrosis and perforation and prolapse of intraocular contents of the severely damaged 10 eyes, 9 were salvaged and retained a semi-transparent corneal graft with improvement in vision for 6 months or longer. It suggested that, for eyes with severe corneal damage that would otherwise be enucleated, anterior segment reconstruction by corneoscleral transplantation is of value.
