摘要: ABSTRACTIntroduction: The Boston Keratoprosthesis type 1 (B-KPro) is the most used keratoprosthesis worldwide. It offers hope to a subset of patients who have poor prognosis standard penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). device designed in such way that it implanted into carrier corneal graft, usually fresh donor. However, worldwide shortage tissue has limited expansion B-KPro. Significant effort been invested searching for more-readily available alternatives tissue. Of interest, frozen donor carriers shown similar clinical outcomes as donors. Other options could also offer replace tissue.Areas covered: This review underlines current worldwide, and thoroughly describes process surgical indications cryopreserved corneas. Recent data on prospective B-KPro are discussed. ...
