Temporary Keratoprothesis in Ocular Trauma

Show Description +

In cases of corneal opacification and retinal pathology, a temporary keratoprothesis (TKP) allows for visualization of the intraocular structures and facilitates the treatment of anterior and posterior diseases in a single procedure. Cesare Forlini, MD, presents the use of a TKP in the "Pole to Pole" strategy for a 39-year-old male with previous PPV and PK following a penetrating trauma. The patient has graft compensation, total retinal detachment, and vision is light perception.

The second case with IOFB probably did not require a PK. He would have faired well with his own cornea. But fantastic surgery, clarity is exceptional, and so is your skill. Well Done Dr. Cesaro. Deservedly WINNER!!
