    Rotational ipsilateral penetrating autokeratoplasty offers a solution for nonprogressive corneal scars, overcoming donor tissue limitations and graft rejection issues. This method optimizes graft size and placement for the clearest visual outcome.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery
    • Transplantation Immunology

    Background:

    • Nonprogressive corneal scars can impair vision.
    • Penetrating keratoplasty (corneal transplantation) is a common treatment.
    • Challenges include donor tissue availability and graft rejection.

    Observation:

    • Rotational ipsilateral penetrating autokeratoplasty utilizes the patient's own corneal tissue.
    • This technique addresses donor tissue shortages and reduces immunological rejection.
    • A specific method is detailed for maximizing the clear corneal graft area.

    Findings:

    • The study presents a method to determine optimal trephine size and placement for rotational autokeratoplasty.
    • Key measurements include the diameter of the clear cornea and distance from scar edge to cornea center.

  • This approach aims to maximize the clear central corneal area achievable.

    • Implications:

    • Rotational autokeratoplasty provides a viable alternative for specific corneal scar treatments.
    • The described method aids surgeons in planning and executing the procedure effectively.
    • This technique potentially improves visual outcomes and reduces complications associated with allografts.
