Abstract

Surgical Therapy of Ocular Burns This chapter elucidates current techniques for the surgical management of ocular burns. It successively addresses in a very well-documented and didactic manner: debridement and excision of necrotic tissues prevention of symblepharon formation Tenoplasties conjunctival transplantation, and also buccal or nasal mucosa transplantation and finally, amniotic membrane transplantation, keratoplasties, and treatment of the eyelids. This chapter concludes that due to progress in surgical techniques, the prognosis of severe ocular chemical burns has been very much improved together with understanding of the physiology of the various fundamental components of the cornea.
