title: Experiences with a new corneal suction trephine.
abstract: The importance of exact trephining for successful keratoplasty is well known. We employ a new suction trephine, thus obtaining exact and sharp cutting margines which are examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The first observed clinical results in 25 cases are good.
