Webinar RegistrationOverview of Scleral Tectonic Grafting in Severe Corneal Trauma

Sep 16, 2026, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM New York time

Severe corneal lacerations and perforations can rapidly become globe-threatening, particularly in settings where donor tissue, surgical instruments, and postoperative resources are limited. In this case-driven session, Dr. Ibrahim shares her approach to scleral tectonic grafting—an underutilized yet highly effective option for managing complex ocular trauma—refined through her clinical experience in Sudan. We will review the pathophysiology of corneal structural failure, indications for scleral grafting, and key surgical considerations, including pre-operative assessment, intraoperative decision-making, and post-operative management. Common pitfalls and practical strategies for optimizing outcomes will also be discussed. This session emphasizes surgical adaptability and is relevant for clinicians practicing in low-resource environments or preparing to manage complex ocular emergencies. (Level: All) Lecturer: Dr. Dinah Saad Ahmed Ibrahim, Ophthalmologist, Albasar International Foundation, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Language: English The webinar is intended for eye care professionals.
