Surgical management of traumatic incision dehiscence following penetrating keratoplasty.
Three patients sustained a traumatic incision rupture of their cornea transplant; six weeks, four months, and seven months postoperatively. The cases included a phakic, aphakic, and pseudophakic keratoplasty; all did well with clear grafts following primary suture repair. Our report confirms the preferred management of such cases with primary resuturing.
