Wedge Resection and Lamellar Dissection for Pellucid Marginal Degeneration
Cornea, 05/21/2012
Maccheron LJ et al. – Corneal wedge resection with and without lamellar dissection is an effective surgical intervention for corneal ectasia in pellucid marginal degeneration and avoids allogeneic transplantation by way of a large penetrating or lamellar keratoplasty. The technique has a low intraoperative complication rate and gives improved uncorrected visual acuity, best–corrected visual acuity, keratometric cylinder, and spectacle or contact lens tolerance.
