Surgical Approaches for the Management of Peripheral Ulcerative Keratitis With Corneal Perforation
Management of PUK with perforation poses medical and surgical challenges, which can be employed as illustrated to obtain a successful outcome. Multilayer amniotic membrane transplantation can seal small perforations. Larger perforations may require fashioned banana-shaped grafts to restore the ocular integrity. Control of inflammation with systemic steroids and immunosuppression is paramount for a successful outcome.
