Abstrakt: Corneal neurotization is a fast-evolving surgical procedure for sensory reinnervation in neurotrophic keratopathy. After neurotization, prior reports document return of corneal sensation on average 8 months after surgery with 38 mm of sensation gain measured via cochet bonnet esthesiometer testing. Here, the authors describe a dual nerve grafting approach via simultaneous parallel sural nerve grafts from both the supratrochelar and supraorbital nerves to the affected contralateral cornea with return of sensation by postoperative week 11.
