Revisiting the Use of Deep Temporalis Fascia Grafts in Ophthalmology

CONCLUSIONS: DTF graft is a highly versatile graft that can be easily harvested. New indications for DTF grafts may include the repair of radiotherapy-induced scleral necrosis, the creation of oculomotor tendon and the temporary packing of large ocular tissue loss in an emergency context. Further studies with a longer follow-up are needed to confirm our preliminary results.PMID:38661124 | DOI:10.1080/08820538.2024.2346756
