A system of overlying suture in partial penetrating keratoplasty

We have evolved a system of a single thread, ten-bridge equally spaced overlying suture, aided by egg membrane, artificial fibrin and immediate strong mydriatic for central partial penetrating keratoplasty no bigger than 6.5 mm. It has given us results, mechanical and visual, better than we have had with direct sturing or with the Katzin 3-leaf clover overlying suture or a combination of both. We suggest that others give it a trial. (Conclusion)
