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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
