Limbal stem cell transplantation in patients with chemical burns to the ocular surface

Key Points

Limbal stem cell transplantation showed promising outcomes for patients suffering from chemical burns to the ocular surface.
Seventeen relevant articles were analyzed to assess various techniques and their effectiveness in restoring ocular integrity.
This review synthesized findings from three major databases, drawing implications for managing limbal stem cell deficiency.
Further research is necessary to standardize techniques and establish optimal practices for chemical burn treatments.

Abstract

Our objective was to evaluate and describe the techniques and outcomes of limbal stem cell transplantation in patients with limbal stem cell deficiency after chemical burn of the ocular surface. We performed this literature review using the PubMed® (MEDLINE), Cochrane and Embase (Elsevier) databases. Of the 313 studies found, 276 were removed as duplicates and ineligible based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria; 17 articles remained after full reading, classified according to the criteria of interest, and 1 article ...
