Bowman's layer transplantation is a new surgical technique for moderate to advanced keratoconus (KC). This minimalist approach shows promise in reducing ectasia with fewer complications.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Keratoconus (KC) management has evolved, with deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty as a standard for advanced cases.
  • Minimalist surgical innovations are emerging for keratoconus treatment.
  • Bowman's layer transplantation is a recent technique for moderate to advanced KC.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review available information and literature on Bowman's layer transplantation for keratoconus.
  • To describe this novel surgical technique for KC management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on Bowman's layer transplantation.
  • Analysis of reported outcomes and complications.

Main Results:

  • Bowman's layer transplantation has been reported as beneficial for advanced KC.
  • The technique shows potential in reducing ectasia.
  • Minimal intraoperative and postoperative complications are associated with the procedure.

Conclusions:

  • Bowman's layer transplantation represents a promising minimalist surgical option for keratoconus.
  • Further research and clinical data are needed to fully establish its efficacy and long-term outcomes.
