Corneal neurotisation: Reconstitution of sensation and repair in neurotrophic keratopathy

Neurotisation is a microsurgical technique that has traditionally been used to restore sensory or motor function following peripheral nerve injury (including brachial plexus repair) but was adapted to ophthalmology in a pioneering manner starting with the corneal neurotisation procedure in 2009 - signalling a move towards complete restoration of corneal innervation rather than symptomatic therapy.
