- Abstract
The article discusses that the shortage of human donor corneas has stimulated interest in corneal xenotransplantation, with porcine corneas being considered a feasible source. Partial-thickness acellular porcine corneal grafts are in use but there has been no clinical application of fresh (cellular) porcine corneas, which is considered true “xenotransplantation” by the World Health Organization.
