Abstract EN
Purpose.
To describe a surgical technique using amniotic membrane transplant (AMT) with fibrin glue (FG) for treating smaller corneal perforations more practically and appropriately filling the defect.
Method.
A patient with noninfectious central corneal perforation, in 1 mm in diameter, was treated with FG-assisted AMT-plug.
An AMT was folded in on itself twice by using FG then a small piece of this FG-AMT mixture was cut to maintain an appropriate plug for the site of the corneal perforation.
The FG-assisted AMT-plug was placed in the perforation area by using FG.
An amniotic membrane patch was placed over the plug, which was then secured by a bandage contact lens.
Result.
Surgery to restore corneal stromal thickness without recurrence of perforation.
Conclusion.
The FG-assisted AMT-plug allowed a successful repair of 1 mm in diameter corneal perforation.
This technique was easily performed, thus seeming to be a good alternative to treat corneal perforations with restoring corneal thickness.
