Abstract

Until now, the early approach of palliative care patients for corneal harvesting has been unheard of in France. At the Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Villeneuve-Saint-Georges Lucie-et-Raymond-Aubrac, in the Val-de-Marne region of France, we offer a rigorous and respectful procedure and organization for patients who have been carefully selected for an early approach to donation.

Keywords: abord anticipé; anticipated approach; consent; consentement; corneal donation; don de cornées; don de tissus; end of life; fin de vie; respect; tissue donation.
