Surgical management of keratoconus (KC) has undergone a paradigm shift in the last two decades and component corneal transplantation technique of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty has established itself as a modality of choice for management of advanced cases of KC. Every now and then, new minimalist modalities are being innovated for the management of KC. On the same lines, a new technique, Bowman's layer transplantation, for surgical management of moderate to advanced KC has been reported in recent years. The procedure has shown to be beneficial in reducing ectasia in advanced KC with minimal intraoperative and postoperative complications. In this review, we intend to describe available information and literature with reference to this new surgical technique - Bowman's layer transplantation.
在过去二十年中,圆锥角膜(KC)的手术治疗发生了范式转变,深前板层角膜移植术的角膜成分移植技术已成为治疗晚期KC病例的首选方式。不时有新的微创方法被创新用于KC的治疗。同样,近年来报道了一种用于中重度KC手术治疗的新技术——Bowman层移植术。该手术已显示出在减少晚期KC的角膜扩张方面有益,且术中及术后并发症极少。在本综述中,我们旨在描述关于这种新手术技术——Bowman层移植术的现有信息和文献。
