title: Fibrin-glue assisted multilayered amniotic membrane transplantation in surgical management of pediatric corneal limbal dermoid: a novel approach.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a new surgical technique for excising pediatric corneal limbal dermoid and the post-resection ocular surface reconstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe a method of deep lamellar excision followed by sutureless multilayered amniotic membrane transplantation in surgical management of corneal limbal dermoid.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This technique achieves a rapid corneal re-epithelization, reduces post-operative pain, and will diminish post-operative scarring. Preoperative corneal astigmatism will persist.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This method offers an alternative surgical approach in comparison to simple excision in removal of simple pediatric corneal limbal dermoids.
