Allogeneic limbo-deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (Limbo-DALK) —A novel surgical technique in corneal stromal disease and limbal stem cell deficiency

ConclusionBased on the data from this pilot series, limbo-DALK appears to be a viable surgical approach for eyes with severe LSCD and corneal stromal pathology, suitable for emergency situations (e.g. corneal ulceration with impending corneal perforation), while minimising the risk of corneal endothelial decompensation.
