She explains how this procedure can be used to effectively correct problems arising within the endothelial cell layer of the cornea without having to replace the entire cornea. This allows for much faster recovery times and a near-perfect success rate. Dr. Skeens concludes this ophthalmology podcast by outlining the typical patient experience while recovering from this procedure, compared to a full-thickness cornea transplant. http://medicaluniversc.http.internapcdn.net/medicaluniversc_vitalstream_com/podcasts/2008/13__skeens_final.mp3 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:06:38 EST 6:41 MUSC,Health muschlth@musc.edu (Medical Univeristy of South Carolina)noBrought to you by the Medical University of South Carolina, these podcasts discuss organ transplantation.
