Fibrin Glue–Assisted Closure of Macroperforation in Predescemetic Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty With a Donor Obtained From Small Incision Lenticule Extraction

Conclusions: A donor lenticule from SMILE surgery is a useful adjunct to seal macroperforations in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty because the thin uniform lamellar tissue is easily applied using fibrin glue and gives uniform and good apposition on both host and donor sides. It can be used immediately without further preparation unlike hand-fashioned patch grafts.
