Ocular Surface Rreconstruction with Allogeneic Limbal Stem Cell and Autologous Oral Mucosal Graft: Two Cases
Two patients with severe ocular surface damage in both eyes are presented. In the patient with limbal stem cell deficiency, allogeneic limbal stem cell transplantation was performed. In the other patient with recurrent pterygium and symblepharon, autogenic oral mucosa transplantation was performed...

Summary: | Two patients with severe ocular surface damage in both eyes are presented. In the patient with limbal stem cell deficiency, allogeneic
limbal stem cell transplantation was performed. In the other patient with recurrent pterygium and symblepharon, autogenic oral
mucosa transplantation was performed to manage the symblepharon. In this study, we discuss the methods that can be performed for
reconstruction in patients with ocular surface disorder in both eyes. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 129-31) |
