This can be done with the Yamane technique or with the belt loop method as long as care is taken to avoid flanges that are prone to exposure and extrusion. Our guest surgeon posts many videos to instagram where he advocates an alternate technique where he secures the flange into an intra-stromal corneal pocket. This avoids the risk of eroding through the conjunctiva and sclera, but will the corneal stroma hold up as the years progress? It is an interesting technique from a smart, young surgeon and I think you will enjoy learning from the video. video link here Comment Manage your email settings or unsubscribe.
