A complex surgical case from Duke Eye Center is now featured on the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) One Network. In the video, Christopher Dermarkarian, MD, and Kourtney Houser, MD perform a surgical repair of symblepharon and cicatricial entropion in the right eye of a 78-year-old patient.
The patient presented with poorly controlled cicatrizing conjunctivitis and limbal stem cell deficiency, requiring a highly specialized approach to restore ocular surface integrity and eyelid function. The video highlights the surgical techniques used to manage this challenging case and offers valuable insights for clinicians treating similar conditions.
