  This is a pre-requisite course for the wetlab(s):

  COURSE DESCRIPTION: : The course will be mostly directed to surgical technique details: microkeratome and/or trephine preparation of the donor in both penetrating and anterior and posterior lamellar techniques trephination, and techniques of suturing.
  Other surgical maneuvers commonly performed during keratoplasty such as cataract surgery, iris reconstruction, IOL extraction or anterior vitrectomy will also be reviewed. In this advance section, high risk keratoplasty management as well as a deeper view in the handling of complicated situations will be covered
  
  COURSE OBJECTIVES: : At the end of the course, an overview of the most advanced but not yet regular techniques will also be reviewed.
