PRESENTAZIONE DEL CONGRESSO

Torino una delle piugrave belle cittagrave drsquoItalia ospiteragrave il XVIII congresso

SICSSO Il titolo della passata edizione ldquoLetrsquos discuss again clinical

casesrdquo passa il testimone ad una edizione congressuale piugrave improntata

sulla chirurgia Piugrave di quindici interventi chirurgici direttamente dalle

sale dellrsquoOspedale Oftalmico di Torino caratterizzeranno il congresso di

questrsquoanno Articolata egrave la selezione dei casi con molte DMEK ovviamente

ma anche DALK e chirurgia della superficie con TRAPIANTI DI LIMBUS

INNESTI DI MEMBRANA AMNIOTICA ecc Particolare la sessione di

Oculoplastica e Superficie Oculare con interventi in diretta di complessi

casi di maleocclusione palpebrale Non mancheranno le sessioni di visita

in diretta dei malati complessi neacute la gettonatissima e riprodotta in altri

congressi wetlab su tessuti di banca

La necessitagrave di convergere sulle diagnosi e quindi sulle conseguenti terapie

egrave sempre il problema piugrave vivo in tema di ldquocornea e superficie ocularerdquo

Le infezioni corneali patologie dai risvolti a volte drammatici restano

un argomento clou del congresso Questrsquoanno in particolare cercheremo

di puntualizzare oltre ai criteri diagnostici e terapeutici gli aspetti della

profilassi alla luce dei nuovi antisettici e dellrsquoaumento delle resistenze agli

antibiotici

Riuscire ad avere comportamenti consoni e condivisi resta sempre un

obiettivo da raggiungere I Corsi in Italiano con limitato numero di

partecipanti (30 persone) per approfondire meglio e chiarire dubbi su

8

vari temi che nella Sala Plenaria non avrebbero adeguato spazio sono

da prenotare Le Medal Lectures di questrsquoanno sono state assegnate a due

amici internazionali SICSSO di lunga data Marian Macsai ed Elmer

Tu colleghi straordinari Il loro contributo alle innovazioni nel nostro

settore egrave da sempre un punto di riferimento nella nostra comunitagrave

Verranno inoltre premiati quattro partecipanti ldquounder 40rdquo per Best Oral

Presentation Best Poster Most Original Oral Presentation e Most

Original Poster

Verrano presentati i primi obiettivi raggiunti dalle ldquoMissionirdquo di

SICSSO Cornea Transplant Foundation for Developing Countries

conseguenti al cambio di statuto dello scorso anno al fine di assistere le

curve di apprendimento nella chirurgia lamellare di chirurghi che ne hanno

fatto richiesta nel mondo

Nonostante lrsquoincredibile evoluzione nella diagnosi e nel trattamento

delle patologie corneali la cecitagrave corneale nel mondo resta un problema

immenso e nella maggior parte delle nazioni anche economicamente

evolute tutte le nuove tecniche chirurgiche lamellari non hanno ancora

adeguato utilizzo Il fabbisogno di trapianti necessita di un incremento di

70 volte Noi di SICSSO lavoreremo per questo

Buon congresso a Torino

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

Vincenzo Sarnicola

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

PRESENTAZIONE DEL CONGRESSO

Torino una delle piugrave belle cittagrave drsquoItalia ospiteragrave il XVIII congresso

SICSSO Il titolo della passata edizione ldquoLetrsquos discuss again clinical

casesrdquo passa il testimone ad una edizione congressuale piugrave improntata

sulla chirurgia Piugrave di quindici interventi chirurgici direttamente dalle

sale dellrsquoOspedale Oftalmico di Torino caratterizzeranno il congresso di

questrsquoanno Articolata egrave la selezione dei casi con molte DMEK ovviamente

ma anche DALK e chirurgia della superficie con TRAPIANTI DI LIMBUS

INNESTI DI MEMBRANA AMNIOTICA ecc Particolare la sessione di

Oculoplastica e Superficie Oculare con interventi in diretta di complessi

casi di maleocclusione palpebrale Non mancheranno le sessioni di visita

in diretta dei malati complessi neacute la gettonatissima e riprodotta in altri

congressi wetlab su tessuti di banca

La necessitagrave di convergere sulle diagnosi e quindi sulle conseguenti terapie

egrave sempre il problema piugrave vivo in tema di ldquocornea e superficie ocularerdquo

Le infezioni corneali patologie dai risvolti a volte drammatici restano

un argomento clou del congresso Questrsquoanno in particolare cercheremo

di puntualizzare oltre ai criteri diagnostici e terapeutici gli aspetti della

profilassi alla luce dei nuovi antisettici e dellrsquoaumento delle resistenze agli

antibiotici

Riuscire ad avere comportamenti consoni e condivisi resta sempre un

obiettivo da raggiungere I Corsi in Italiano con limitato numero di

partecipanti (30 persone) per approfondire meglio e chiarire dubbi su

8

vari temi che nella Sala Plenaria non avrebbero adeguato spazio sono

da prenotare Le Medal Lectures di questrsquoanno sono state assegnate a due

amici internazionali SICSSO di lunga data Marian Macsai ed Elmer

Tu colleghi straordinari Il loro contributo alle innovazioni nel nostro

settore egrave da sempre un punto di riferimento nella nostra comunitagrave

Verranno inoltre premiati quattro partecipanti ldquounder 40rdquo per Best Oral

Presentation Best Poster Most Original Oral Presentation e Most

Original Poster

Verrano presentati i primi obiettivi raggiunti dalle ldquoMissionirdquo di

SICSSO Cornea Transplant Foundation for Developing Countries

conseguenti al cambio di statuto dello scorso anno al fine di assistere le

curve di apprendimento nella chirurgia lamellare di chirurghi che ne hanno

fatto richiesta nel mondo

Nonostante lrsquoincredibile evoluzione nella diagnosi e nel trattamento

delle patologie corneali la cecitagrave corneale nel mondo resta un problema

immenso e nella maggior parte delle nazioni anche economicamente

evolute tutte le nuove tecniche chirurgiche lamellari non hanno ancora

adeguato utilizzo Il fabbisogno di trapianti necessita di un incremento di

70 volte Noi di SICSSO lavoreremo per questo

Buon congresso a Torino

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

Vincenzo Sarnicola

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

PRESENTAZIONE DEL CONGRESSO

Torino una delle piugrave belle cittagrave drsquoItalia ospiteragrave il XVIII congresso

SICSSO Il titolo della passata edizione ldquoLetrsquos discuss again clinical

casesrdquo passa il testimone ad una edizione congressuale piugrave improntata

sulla chirurgia Piugrave di quindici interventi chirurgici direttamente dalle

sale dellrsquoOspedale Oftalmico di Torino caratterizzeranno il congresso di

questrsquoanno Articolata egrave la selezione dei casi con molte DMEK ovviamente

ma anche DALK e chirurgia della superficie con TRAPIANTI DI LIMBUS

INNESTI DI MEMBRANA AMNIOTICA ecc Particolare la sessione di

Oculoplastica e Superficie Oculare con interventi in diretta di complessi

casi di maleocclusione palpebrale Non mancheranno le sessioni di visita

in diretta dei malati complessi neacute la gettonatissima e riprodotta in altri

congressi wetlab su tessuti di banca

La necessitagrave di convergere sulle diagnosi e quindi sulle conseguenti terapie

egrave sempre il problema piugrave vivo in tema di ldquocornea e superficie ocularerdquo

Le infezioni corneali patologie dai risvolti a volte drammatici restano

un argomento clou del congresso Questrsquoanno in particolare cercheremo

di puntualizzare oltre ai criteri diagnostici e terapeutici gli aspetti della

profilassi alla luce dei nuovi antisettici e dellrsquoaumento delle resistenze agli

antibiotici

Riuscire ad avere comportamenti consoni e condivisi resta sempre un

obiettivo da raggiungere I Corsi in Italiano con limitato numero di

partecipanti (30 persone) per approfondire meglio e chiarire dubbi su

8

vari temi che nella Sala Plenaria non avrebbero adeguato spazio sono

da prenotare Le Medal Lectures di questrsquoanno sono state assegnate a due

amici internazionali SICSSO di lunga data Marian Macsai ed Elmer

Tu colleghi straordinari Il loro contributo alle innovazioni nel nostro

settore egrave da sempre un punto di riferimento nella nostra comunitagrave

Verranno inoltre premiati quattro partecipanti ldquounder 40rdquo per Best Oral

Presentation Best Poster Most Original Oral Presentation e Most

Original Poster

Verrano presentati i primi obiettivi raggiunti dalle ldquoMissionirdquo di

SICSSO Cornea Transplant Foundation for Developing Countries

conseguenti al cambio di statuto dello scorso anno al fine di assistere le

curve di apprendimento nella chirurgia lamellare di chirurghi che ne hanno

fatto richiesta nel mondo

Nonostante lrsquoincredibile evoluzione nella diagnosi e nel trattamento

delle patologie corneali la cecitagrave corneale nel mondo resta un problema

immenso e nella maggior parte delle nazioni anche economicamente

evolute tutte le nuove tecniche chirurgiche lamellari non hanno ancora

adeguato utilizzo Il fabbisogno di trapianti necessita di un incremento di

70 volte Noi di SICSSO lavoreremo per questo

Buon congresso a Torino

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

Vincenzo Sarnicola

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

PRESENTAZIONE DEL CONGRESSO

Torino una delle piugrave belle cittagrave drsquoItalia ospiteragrave il XVIII congresso

SICSSO Il titolo della passata edizione ldquoLetrsquos discuss again clinical

casesrdquo passa il testimone ad una edizione congressuale piugrave improntata

sulla chirurgia Piugrave di quindici interventi chirurgici direttamente dalle

sale dellrsquoOspedale Oftalmico di Torino caratterizzeranno il congresso di

questrsquoanno Articolata egrave la selezione dei casi con molte DMEK ovviamente

ma anche DALK e chirurgia della superficie con TRAPIANTI DI LIMBUS

INNESTI DI MEMBRANA AMNIOTICA ecc Particolare la sessione di

Oculoplastica e Superficie Oculare con interventi in diretta di complessi

casi di maleocclusione palpebrale Non mancheranno le sessioni di visita

in diretta dei malati complessi neacute la gettonatissima e riprodotta in altri

congressi wetlab su tessuti di banca

La necessitagrave di convergere sulle diagnosi e quindi sulle conseguenti terapie

egrave sempre il problema piugrave vivo in tema di ldquocornea e superficie ocularerdquo

Le infezioni corneali patologie dai risvolti a volte drammatici restano

un argomento clou del congresso Questrsquoanno in particolare cercheremo

di puntualizzare oltre ai criteri diagnostici e terapeutici gli aspetti della

profilassi alla luce dei nuovi antisettici e dellrsquoaumento delle resistenze agli

antibiotici

Riuscire ad avere comportamenti consoni e condivisi resta sempre un

obiettivo da raggiungere I Corsi in Italiano con limitato numero di

partecipanti (30 persone) per approfondire meglio e chiarire dubbi su

8

vari temi che nella Sala Plenaria non avrebbero adeguato spazio sono

da prenotare Le Medal Lectures di questrsquoanno sono state assegnate a due

amici internazionali SICSSO di lunga data Marian Macsai ed Elmer

Tu colleghi straordinari Il loro contributo alle innovazioni nel nostro

settore egrave da sempre un punto di riferimento nella nostra comunitagrave

Verranno inoltre premiati quattro partecipanti ldquounder 40rdquo per Best Oral

Presentation Best Poster Most Original Oral Presentation e Most

Original Poster

Verrano presentati i primi obiettivi raggiunti dalle ldquoMissionirdquo di

SICSSO Cornea Transplant Foundation for Developing Countries

conseguenti al cambio di statuto dello scorso anno al fine di assistere le

curve di apprendimento nella chirurgia lamellare di chirurghi che ne hanno

fatto richiesta nel mondo

Nonostante lrsquoincredibile evoluzione nella diagnosi e nel trattamento

delle patologie corneali la cecitagrave corneale nel mondo resta un problema

immenso e nella maggior parte delle nazioni anche economicamente

evolute tutte le nuove tecniche chirurgiche lamellari non hanno ancora

adeguato utilizzo Il fabbisogno di trapianti necessita di un incremento di

70 volte Noi di SICSSO lavoreremo per questo

Buon congresso a Torino

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

Vincenzo Sarnicola

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

PRESENTAZIONE DEL CONGRESSO

Torino una delle piugrave belle cittagrave drsquoItalia ospiteragrave il XVIII congresso

SICSSO Il titolo della passata edizione ldquoLetrsquos discuss again clinical

casesrdquo passa il testimone ad una edizione congressuale piugrave improntata

sulla chirurgia Piugrave di quindici interventi chirurgici direttamente dalle

sale dellrsquoOspedale Oftalmico di Torino caratterizzeranno il congresso di

questrsquoanno Articolata egrave la selezione dei casi con molte DMEK ovviamente

ma anche DALK e chirurgia della superficie con TRAPIANTI DI LIMBUS

INNESTI DI MEMBRANA AMNIOTICA ecc Particolare la sessione di

Oculoplastica e Superficie Oculare con interventi in diretta di complessi

casi di maleocclusione palpebrale Non mancheranno le sessioni di visita

in diretta dei malati complessi neacute la gettonatissima e riprodotta in altri

congressi wetlab su tessuti di banca

La necessitagrave di convergere sulle diagnosi e quindi sulle conseguenti terapie

egrave sempre il problema piugrave vivo in tema di ldquocornea e superficie ocularerdquo

Le infezioni corneali patologie dai risvolti a volte drammatici restano

un argomento clou del congresso Questrsquoanno in particolare cercheremo

di puntualizzare oltre ai criteri diagnostici e terapeutici gli aspetti della

profilassi alla luce dei nuovi antisettici e dellrsquoaumento delle resistenze agli

antibiotici

Riuscire ad avere comportamenti consoni e condivisi resta sempre un

obiettivo da raggiungere I Corsi in Italiano con limitato numero di

partecipanti (30 persone) per approfondire meglio e chiarire dubbi su

SICSSO Cornea Transplant Foundation for Developing Countries

conseguenti al cambio di statuto dello scorso anno al fine di assistere le

curve di apprendimento nella chirurgia lamellare di chirurghi che ne hanno

fatto richiesta nel mondo

Nonostante lrsquoincredibile evoluzione nella diagnosi e nel trattamento

delle patologie corneali la cecitagrave corneale nel mondo resta un problema

immenso e nella maggior parte delle nazioni anche economicamente

evolute tutte le nuove tecniche chirurgiche lamellari non hanno ancora

adeguato utilizzo Il fabbisogno di trapianti necessita di un incremento di

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

PRESENTAZIONE DEL CONGRESSO

Torino una delle piugrave belle cittagrave drsquoItalia ospiteragrave il XVIII congresso

SICSSO Il titolo della passata edizione ldquoLetrsquos discuss again clinical

casesrdquo passa il testimone ad una edizione congressuale piugrave improntata

sulla chirurgia Piugrave di quindici interventi chirurgici direttamente dalle

sale dellrsquoOspedale Oftalmico di Torino caratterizzeranno il congresso di

questrsquoanno Articolata egrave la selezione dei casi con molte DMEK ovviamente

ma anche DALK e chirurgia della superficie con TRAPIANTI DI LIMBUS

INNESTI DI MEMBRANA AMNIOTICA ecc Particolare la sessione di

Oculoplastica e Superficie Oculare con interventi in diretta di complessi

casi di maleocclusione palpebrale Non mancheranno le sessioni di visita

in diretta dei malati complessi neacute la gettonatissima e riprodotta in altri

congressi wetlab su tessuti di banca

La necessitagrave di convergere sulle diagnosi e quindi sulle conseguenti terapie

egrave sempre il problema piugrave vivo in tema di ldquocornea e superficie ocularerdquo

Le infezioni corneali patologie dai risvolti a volte drammatici restano

un argomento clou del congresso Questrsquoanno in particolare cercheremo

di puntualizzare oltre ai criteri diagnostici e terapeutici gli aspetti della

profilassi alla luce dei nuovi antisettici e dellrsquoaumento delle resistenze agli

antibiotici

Riuscire ad avere comportamenti consoni e condivisi resta sempre un

obiettivo da raggiungere I Corsi in Italiano con limitato numero di

partecipanti (30 persone) per approfondire meglio e chiarire dubbi su

8

vari temi che nella Sala Plenaria non avrebbero adeguato spazio sono

da prenotare Le Medal Lectures di questrsquoanno sono state assegnate a due

amici internazionali SICSSO di lunga data Marian Macsai ed Elmer

Tu colleghi straordinari Il loro contributo alle innovazioni nel nostro

settore egrave da sempre un punto di riferimento nella nostra comunitagrave

Verranno inoltre premiati quattro partecipanti ldquounder 40rdquo per Best Oral

Presentation Best Poster Most Original Oral Presentation e Most

Original Poster

Verrano presentati i primi obiettivi raggiunti dalle ldquoMissionirdquo di

SICSSO Cornea Transplant Foundation for Developing Countries

conseguenti al cambio di statuto dello scorso anno al fine di assistere le

curve di apprendimento nella chirurgia lamellare di chirurghi che ne hanno

fatto richiesta nel mondo

Nonostante lrsquoincredibile evoluzione nella diagnosi e nel trattamento

delle patologie corneali la cecitagrave corneale nel mondo resta un problema

immenso e nella maggior parte delle nazioni anche economicamente

evolute tutte le nuove tecniche chirurgiche lamellari non hanno ancora

adeguato utilizzo Il fabbisogno di trapianti necessita di un incremento di

70 volte Noi di SICSSO lavoreremo per questo

Buon congresso a Torino

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

Vincenzo Sarnicola

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

PRESENTAZIONE DEL CONGRESSO

Torino una delle piugrave belle cittagrave drsquoItalia ospiteragrave il XVIII congresso

SICSSO Il titolo della passata edizione ldquoLetrsquos discuss again clinical

casesrdquo passa il testimone ad una edizione congressuale piugrave improntata

sulla chirurgia Piugrave di quindici interventi chirurgici direttamente dalle

sale dellrsquoOspedale Oftalmico di Torino caratterizzeranno il congresso di

questrsquoanno Articolata egrave la selezione dei casi con molte DMEK ovviamente

ma anche DALK e chirurgia della superficie con TRAPIANTI DI LIMBUS

INNESTI DI MEMBRANA AMNIOTICA ecc Particolare la sessione di

Oculoplastica e Superficie Oculare con interventi in diretta di complessi

casi di maleocclusione palpebrale Non mancheranno le sessioni di visita

in diretta dei malati complessi neacute la gettonatissima e riprodotta in altri

congressi wetlab su tessuti di banca

La necessitagrave di convergere sulle diagnosi e quindi sulle conseguenti terapie

egrave sempre il problema piugrave vivo in tema di ldquocornea e superficie ocularerdquo

Le infezioni corneali patologie dai risvolti a volte drammatici restano

un argomento clou del congresso Questrsquoanno in particolare cercheremo

di puntualizzare oltre ai criteri diagnostici e terapeutici gli aspetti della

profilassi alla luce dei nuovi antisettici e dellrsquoaumento delle resistenze agli

antibiotici

Riuscire ad avere comportamenti consoni e condivisi resta sempre un

obiettivo da raggiungere I Corsi in Italiano con limitato numero di

partecipanti (30 persone) per approfondire meglio e chiarire dubbi su

8

vari temi che nella Sala Plenaria non avrebbero adeguato spazio sono

da prenotare Le Medal Lectures di questrsquoanno sono state assegnate a due

amici internazionali SICSSO di lunga data Marian Macsai ed Elmer

Tu colleghi straordinari Il loro contributo alle innovazioni nel nostro

settore egrave da sempre un punto di riferimento nella nostra comunitagrave

Verranno inoltre premiati quattro partecipanti ldquounder 40rdquo per Best Oral

Presentation Best Poster Most Original Oral Presentation e Most

Original Poster

Verrano presentati i primi obiettivi raggiunti dalle ldquoMissionirdquo di

SICSSO Cornea Transplant Foundation for Developing Countries

conseguenti al cambio di statuto dello scorso anno al fine di assistere le

curve di apprendimento nella chirurgia lamellare di chirurghi che ne hanno

fatto richiesta nel mondo

Nonostante lrsquoincredibile evoluzione nella diagnosi e nel trattamento

delle patologie corneali la cecitagrave corneale nel mondo resta un problema

immenso e nella maggior parte delle nazioni anche economicamente

evolute tutte le nuove tecniche chirurgiche lamellari non hanno ancora

adeguato utilizzo Il fabbisogno di trapianti necessita di un incremento di

70 volte Noi di SICSSO lavoreremo per questo

Buon congresso a Torino

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

Vincenzo Sarnicola

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

PRESENTAZIONE DEL CONGRESSO

Torino una delle piugrave belle cittagrave drsquoItalia ospiteragrave il XVIII congresso

SICSSO Il titolo della passata edizione ldquoLetrsquos discuss again clinical

casesrdquo passa il testimone ad una edizione congressuale piugrave improntata

sulla chirurgia Piugrave di quindici interventi chirurgici direttamente dalle

sale dellrsquoOspedale Oftalmico di Torino caratterizzeranno il congresso di

questrsquoanno Articolata egrave la selezione dei casi con molte DMEK ovviamente

ma anche DALK e chirurgia della superficie con TRAPIANTI DI LIMBUS

INNESTI DI MEMBRANA AMNIOTICA ecc Particolare la sessione di

Oculoplastica e Superficie Oculare con interventi in diretta di complessi

casi di maleocclusione palpebrale Non mancheranno le sessioni di visita

in diretta dei malati complessi neacute la gettonatissima e riprodotta in altri

congressi wetlab su tessuti di banca

La necessitagrave di convergere sulle diagnosi e quindi sulle conseguenti terapie

egrave sempre il problema piugrave vivo in tema di ldquocornea e superficie ocularerdquo

Le infezioni corneali patologie dai risvolti a volte drammatici restano

un argomento clou del congresso Questrsquoanno in particolare cercheremo

di puntualizzare oltre ai criteri diagnostici e terapeutici gli aspetti della

profilassi alla luce dei nuovi antisettici e dellrsquoaumento delle resistenze agli

antibiotici

Riuscire ad avere comportamenti consoni e condivisi resta sempre un

obiettivo da raggiungere I Corsi in Italiano con limitato numero di

partecipanti (30 persone) per approfondire meglio e chiarire dubbi su

vari temi che nella Sala Plenaria non avrebbero adeguato spazio sono

da prenotare Le Medal Lectures di questrsquoanno sono state assegnate a due

amici internazionali SICSSO di lunga data Marian Macsai ed Elmer

Tu colleghi straordinari Il loro contributo alle innovazioni nel nostro

settore egrave da sempre un punto di riferimento nella nostra comunitagrave

Verranno inoltre premiati quattro partecipanti ldquounder 40rdquo per Best Oral

Presentation Best Poster Most Original Oral Presentation e Most

Original Poster

Verrano presentati i primi obiettivi raggiunti dalle ldquoMissionirdquo di

SICSSO Cornea Transplant Foundation for Developing Countries

conseguenti al cambio di statuto dello scorso anno al fine di assistere le

curve di apprendimento nella chirurgia lamellare di chirurghi che ne hanno

fatto richiesta nel mondo

Nonostante lrsquoincredibile evoluzione nella diagnosi e nel trattamento

delle patologie corneali la cecitagrave corneale nel mondo resta un problema

immenso e nella maggior parte delle nazioni anche economicamente

evolute tutte le nuove tecniche chirurgiche lamellari non hanno ancora

adeguato utilizzo Il fabbisogno di trapianti necessita di un incremento di

70 volte Noi di SICSSO lavoreremo per questo

Buon congresso a Torino

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

CONGRESS PRESENTATION

The XVIII edition of SICSSO meeting will be held in Turin one of the

most beautiful city in Italy on June 27th-29th 2019

The previous edition entitled Lets discuss again clinical cases passes

the torch to a new edition more focused on corneal surgery More than

fifteen surgeries live streamed from Turins Ophthalmic Hospital

will characterize this years congress The surgical cases selected are

diversified and will include of course numerous DMEK and DALK

but also AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE TRANSPLANTATION LIMBAL

TRANSPLANT PTERYGIUM etc Moreover this year there will be a

session entitled Oculoplasty amp Ocular Surface that will be focused on

eyelid malocclusion and its role in ocular surface diseases through live

patients evaluation and live surgeries

Traditional live patient evaluation of complex corneal cases and the most

popular wet lab on eye bank tissues are included in the program

The need to converge on diagnosis and therefore on therapies is always

the most vivid problem in terms of cornea and ocular surface diseases

Corneal infections pathologies with sometimes-dramatic consequences

remain a key topic of the meeting This year in particular we will discuss

about prophylaxis in light of new antiseptics and the increased antibiotics

resistance Our goal is to find consistent and shared behaviors

Basic Courses in Italian language only to better discuss about various topics

that wouldnrsquot have had enough space in the plenary sessions are renewed

Participation is limited (maximum 30 participants) and subscription is

required

The 2019 Medal Lectures have been assigned to two long lasting SICSSO

international friends who are extraordinary colleagues Marian Macsai

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

and Elmer Tu Their contribution to innovations in our field has always

been a point of reference in our community

Four under 40 participants will be awarded for the best oral presentation

the most original oral presentation the best poster and the most original

poster The first results achieved by the SICSSO MISSION will be

presented Last year SICSSO changed its bylaws and developed a new

project that aims to assist cornea specialists during their learning curves in

lamellar surgeries worldwide Despite the incredible evolution in diagnosis

and treatment of corneal diseases corneal blindness remains a huge

problem in the world and the current number of keratoplasties should grow

70 times to meet the number of those who are in need

The newest lamellar surgical techniques are still an uncommon procedure

even in industrialized country SICSSO will work to change this

Wish you a good congress in Turin

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy

There are over 10 million people worldwide living with treatable blindness However the current number of keratoplasties should grow 70 times to meet the number of those who are in needThe newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques may consent to improve the pool of donor tissues in fact one donor cornea can be used for more than one recipient One donor cornea can provide one DALK graft one DMEK graft and even a KLAL or scleral patch graft Furthermore lamellar keratoplasties have a better prognosis than traditional PK Lamellar keratoplasties have a significant lower incidence of rejection higher and longer graft survival and less intraoperative and postoperative complications

Despite PK is becoming an uncommon procedure in advanced corneal centers this traditional keratoplasty is still the most adopted procedure in the world even in industrialized countries When transitioning from PK to lamellar techniques most of corneal surgeons have to face a tough learning curve without mentors who could help in overcoming the difficulties of these new techniques For all these reasons SICSSO the International Society of Cornea Stem Cell and Ocular Surface has started in 2018 a new activity called CORNEA TRASPLANT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES in order to transmit with tutoring and mentoring missions the newest lamellar keratoplasty surgical techniques

An International Board has been nominated to coordinate the ldquoCORNEA TRANSPLANT FOUNDATIONrdquo activities In six months three missions were successfully completed in Turkey Georgia and Italy
