MeSH Heading: Keratomileusis, Laser In Situ
Tree Number(s): E02.594.480.750; E04.014.520.480.750; E04.378.500.750; E04.540.825.437.374
Unique ID: D020731
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020731
Annotation: coordinate with specific LASER when discussed
Scope Note: A surgical procedure to correct MYOPIA by CORNEAL STROMA subtraction. It involves the use of a microkeratome to make a lamellar dissection of the CORNEA creating a flap with intact CORNEAL EPITHELIUM. After the flap is lifted, the underlying midstroma is reshaped with an EXCIMER LASER and the flap is returned to its original position.
Entry Term(s): LASIK; Laser In Situ Keratomileusis; Laser Intrastromal Keratomileusis; Laser-Assisted Stromal In Situ Keratomileusis
