pubmed:abstractText
Subepithelial recurrences in the graft are well known after conventional penetrating keratoplasties in granular and lattice dystrophies. In contrast to what is still written in most textbooks, both dystrophies have their origin in the epithelium, which originates from the limbal stem cells. The aim of this study, therefore, is to investigate whether recurrences can be avoided or minimized by simultaneous transplantation of healthy donor limbus by means of a homologous central limbokeratoplasty.
