A method to prevent tube-corneal touch in patients with Molteno implants who require corneal transplants is presented. A double-armed 10-0 Prolene suture is passed from limbus to limbus so that within the anterior chamber the suture acts as a splint for the silicone tube of the Molteno implant, keeping it away from the cornea. This suture has been used in six patients, all aphakic or pseudophakic, requiring corneal transplants for bullous keratopathy. In all six patients, the silicone tube was successfully splinted away from the endothelium of the corneal transplant.
本文介绍了一种针对需要角膜移植的莫尔顿植入物患者预防导管-角膜接触的方法。一根双臂10-0聚丙烯缝线从角膜缘穿过角膜缘，使缝线在前房内作为莫尔顿植入物硅胶管的夹板，使其远离角膜。该缝线已用于6例患者，所有患者均为无晶状体或人工晶状体眼，因大疱性角膜病变需要进行角膜移植。在所有6例患者中，硅胶管均成功地与角膜移植的内皮隔开。
