Clinical Outcomes of Conjunctival Flap Surgery for Refractory Infectious Keratitis: A Retrospective Case Series
Conjunctival flaps achieved infection resolution in most cases of refractory infectious keratitis, with partial flaps showing slightly higher overall success and earlier resolution. These findings support conjunctival flaps as a salvage option, particularly in resource-limited or refractory settings, although further prospective evaluation is warranted.
