A Clinical Study on Co-transplantation of Autologous Limbal Stem Cells and Corneal Stromal Stem Cells to Repair Corneal Injury
Sponsor: Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University
Summary
This study aims to: 1) verify the feasibility of treating limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) caused by chemical injury with autologous limbal stem cell transplantation combined with corneal stromal stem cell transplantation; 2) evaluate the corneal healing patterns following autologous stem cell transplantation; and 3) establish a clinical intervention protocol based on autologous corneal stem cell transplantation. Sixty cases of single-eye LSCD were included.

Conditions
Interventions
Cornea limbal stem cell transplantation group
The corneal limbal tissue (2mm x 5mm) was harvested from the patient's healthy eye, and ex vivo amplification was performed to obtain an adequate quantity of transplantable corneal limbal stem cells.
Corneal transplantation
The patient awaited allogeneic corneal donation and underwent corneal transplantation surgery.
