Homologous penetrating central limbo‐keratoplasty (HPCLK) in bilateral limbal stem cell insufficiency

Abstract

In the majority of the grafts the transplanted limbal stem cells underwent immune destruction. The survival of seven grafts, however, shows that HPCLK is principally a promising new procedure. Further progress can be expected from the use of well HLA-matched grafts instead of unmatched grafts and from further improved systemic immune modulation.
