Advancements in Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty

open access: yes, 2014
Anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) is a corneal transplant procedure where diseased anterior corneal stroma is selectively replaced with donor stromal tissue while preserving the host Descemet’s membrane and endothelium. Despite ALK’s longer history, the most commonly performed procedure for the last 100 years has been PKP, and this has been ...

Evolution of Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK)

Ocular Surface, 2011
The concept of selective tissue transplantation was theorized over two centuries ago. However, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) was difficult to perform with the instruments available at that time, and visual acuity results were poor compared to those achieved by full-thickness transplantation.

Microkeratome-Assisted Superficial Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty

open access: yesTechniques in Ophthalmology, 2006
Microkeratome-assisted superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) is a type of lamellar keratoplasty designed to eliminate superficial corneal opacities (ie, haze postexcimer laser treatment, postinfectious superficial scars of any origin, corneal dystrophies and degenerations with superficial opacities, etc.) while minimizing postoperative ...

A Case of Interface Keratitis Following Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty

open access: yesSurvey of Ophthalmology, 2012
Anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) is indicated in patients with anterior corneal opacities. Benefits over penetrating keratoplasty include quicker visual rehabilitation, less postoperative astigmatism, and preservation of the host endothelium, thus ...

Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty

Ophthalmology, 2008
AbstractDespite the long term risk of endothelial rejection, full‐thickness corneal transplantation is still considered the gold standard surgery for replacing a diseased cornea. Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is not a new procedure, but in the past, its use has been of limited popularity owing to the challenging, lengthy and tedious ...

Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology, 2006
Recent advances in surgical technique have promoted a paradigm shift in the surgical treatment of corneal disease. Penetrating keratoplasty is now being replaced by various types of lamellar techniques that aim to replace damaged tissue only, while maintaining healthy tissue intact.
