“…Avoiding retreatment in corneas with low residual stromal bed thickness As corneal thickness measurements taken months after initial LASIK usually overestimate RSB thickness at the time of LASIK retreatment [29,30], accurate assessment of actual RSB is critical to avoid excessive ablation of the posterior stroma. This can be avoided by utilizing intraoperative pachymetry measurements prior to laser ablation, or by utilizing confocal microscopy prior to enhancement, as the confocal microscope can accurately measure RSB thickness without ever lifting the flap [58].…”

“…3,14,15 Residual stromal bed can be calculated with ultrasound pachymetry by various methods before and after LASIK. 26,27 In our study, the measured residual stromal bed at retreatment was thinner than the estimated residual stromal bed at primary LASIK in most eyes. Muallem et al 28 found a mean difference of 3 G 29 mm; the residual stromal bed thickness at enhancement was thicker than the estimated thickness after primary LASIK, a finding that is opposite to the finding in our study.…”

“…Grupo estudio: tratamiento en cara interna del colgajo corneal microqueratomos son todavía muy imprecisos en su profundidad de corte (12,13) y porque en ocasiones las ablaciones son diferentes a las programadas (14). Esta situación se complica en los retratamientos dada la diferencia que hay entre el grosor del colgajo (calculada en el corte del LASIK inicial) con el grosor una vez levantado el colgajo para el retoque probablemente por la hiperplasia epitelial compensadora (15,16). Maldonado publicó un trabajo describiendo una nueva técnica de retratamiento en ojos que presentaban un estroma posterior insuficiente para la ablación necesaria (7) así como una instrumentación para facilitar la cirugía (17).…”

“…Este autor recomienda no realizar tratamientos que dejen el disco corneal con un grosor inferior a 150 micras y un lecho no inferior a 250 micras mientras que para nosotros los límites son de 100 y 300 micras respectivamente. Nos gusta dejar un disco de 100 micras para dejar un amplio margen sin aproximarnos a la cifra límite de las 250 micras en lecho, ya que factores como ablaciones mayores de las esperadas (14) e hiperplasias del epitelio (15,16) pueden provocar errores de cálculo muy significativos. Además nosotros, tal como describimos en el apartado correspondiente, realizamos en la primera cirugía una paquimetría intraoperatoria para tener calculado el grosor del colgajo.…”
