Atlas of Microkeratome Assisted Lamellar Keratoplasty

As recent developments and advancements in lamellar and penetrating keratoplasty surgery continue to rise, today’s surgeon involved with the treatment of various corneal disorders needs a solid text to stay on the cutting edge. Answering this call is the Atlas of Microkeratome Assisted Lamellar Keratoplasty.

Drs. Massimo Busin and Robert C. Arffa have compiled a comprehensive and unique resource that thoroughly describes the techniques of posterior and anterior lamellar keratoplasty surgery.

Inside the Atlas of Microkeratome Assisted Lamellar Keratoplasty, you will learn the essential details involved with the techniques and will understand how these new procedures can improve surgical outcomes.
Most surgical procedures described use a microkeratome to dissect both recipient and donor corneas, thus obtaining interfaces with optical quality compatible with 20/20 vision. Others use the microkeratome to dissect the donor, but not the recipient.

Advantages over conventional keratoplasty surgery discussed inside include:
• Surgical standardisation
• Faster post-keratoplasty visual rehabilitation
• Minimisation of post-keratoplasty refractive error.

Additionally, Atlas of Microkeratome Assisted Lamellar Keratoplasty contains step-by-step intraoperative photographs and illustrations of techniques clearly depicting the surgery, as well as methods of avoiding and managing common pitfalls.
Ophthalmologists looking to learn, acquire, and refine the latest and most effective treatment options available for various corneal disorders will all benefit from this pioneering text.
