Corneal autograft patches for covering exposed transscleral sutures.
This article details the authors' experience with a relatively unknown technique for covering exposed ends of transscleral sutures. During combined transscleral suturing of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) with a penetrating keratoplasty, buttons from the excised recipient cornea are sutured with 10-0 nylon over the protruding suture ends. This technique has been used successfully in four cases.

CO2-laser in the removal of a plexiform neurofibroma from the eyelid.
We present a child with neurofibromatosis type I (NF-I) who underwent excision of a large upper lid neurofibroma using a CO2-laser. Plexiform neurofibromas are notorious for their bleeding tendency and the inability to achieve complete surgical excision. The CO2-laser is an adjunct to achieving better hemostasis and delineation of the tissue in the absence of natural tissue planes caused by the tumor's diffuse mode of growth. Using the CO2-laser achieves better cosmesis, while reducing operation time and limiting complications.
