David Hui-Kang MA, MD
Taiwan

Professor David Hui-Kang Ma is currently a senior professor and director of Limbal Stem Cell Laboratory in the Department of Ophthalmology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH), Taipei. He is also the editor-in-chief of Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology, and director of program committee of Taiwan Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgery (TSCRS). Professor Ma completed his ophthalmology training at CGMH in 1993. He later earned a Ph.D. degree from the Graduate Institute of Clinical Medicine of Chang Gung University, and studied at UCSF from 1998 to 1999 as a post doctoral fellow. Since 2003, he became the director of Limbal Stem Cell Laboratory, a laboratory dedicated to cell therapy clinical trial. LSC Laboratory is the few institutes that obtained permission from Taiwan FDA to conduct clinical trial on cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation. From 2008 to 2011, he served as the director of Section of Cornea. From 2011 to 2015, he served as the chairman of the department. He was also a member of standing committee of Taiwan Ophthalmology Society from 2011 to 2017. He served as the editor-in-chief of Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology from 2015 to 2024. Since 2011, he has been the convener for the Department of Ophthalmology, Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital in Fujian, China. With his continuous efforts, young doctors at Xiamen learned the phacoemulcification techniques and progressively carried out this service.

Professor Ma’s research focused on regulation of LSC proliferation and cultivated epithelial stem cell transplantation. He has published more than 120 SCI papers on LSC biology, tissue engineering, and corneal surgeries. In recent years, he not only promoted new corneal and refractive surgeries, he also served as advisor for ICO fellows who studied in CGMH. His most recent research is the treatment of SJS/TEN and cultivating nasal mucosal epithelial cells for ocular surface reconstruction.

WL-YT1 Wetlab As Chair

INASCRS Yamane Technique 1 Wet-Lab

September 26, 2024 10:00 - 12:00 (GMT+7) Blake

The Yamane technique wet lab aims to provide ophthalmic surgeons with practical, hands-on experience in performing the Yamane technique for scleral fixation of intraocular lenses (IOLs). This advanced procedure is designed for cases where standard capsular support for IOL placement is absent, such as in aphakic eyes without sufficient capsular support. The wet lab focuses on teaching participants the critical steps of the Yamane technique, including creating scleral tunnels, externalizing the haptics of the IOL, and ensuring stable fixation without sutures. Participants will gain familiarity with the specialized instruments and techniques required, improving their ability to handle complex cases in clinical settings. Additionally, the wet lab aims to enhance the participants' understanding of the anatomical and biomechanical principles underlying the Yamane technique. Through direct practice and expert guidance, surgeons will learn to manage potential complications and refine their skills in manipulating delicate ocular tissues. The objective is to increase the surgeons' confidence and proficiency in performing this innovative technique, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. The wet lab provides a controlled environment for learning and perfecting these skills, ensuring that participants can translate their training into successful surgical practices.
