Comparison of fresh corneal tissue versus glycerin-cryopreserved corneal tissue in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
PURPOSE To compare the microstructural differences in fresh corneal tissue (FCT) with glycerin-cryopreserved corneal tissue (GCCT) used during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). METHODS The medical records of 48 consecutive patients who underwent DALK for stromal opacity without endothelial abnormalities were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: an FCT gro...
متن کاملRisk Factors for Failure of Keratoplasty in Keratoconus: Penetrating vs. Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Purpose: To determine the etiologic factors on rejection and failure rates and ocular surface changes after corneal transplantation by either DALK or PKP, in cases of keratoconus (KCN). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, considering the existing data, patients with keratoconus referring to Labbafinejad Medical Center from 2006 to 2016, who underwent corneal transplantation, were enrolled a...
متن کاملManual Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Keratoplasty is considered the most successful organ transplantation procedure in the world. Reisinger was the first to use the term keratoplasty (Reisinger, 1824), when he suggested using an animal’s eye to provide donor corneal tissue for corneal transplantation in a human. In 1906, the first successful penetrating keratoplasty was performed by Edward Konrad Zirm on a patient suffering from b...
متن کامل[Corneal transplantation in keratoconus: penetrating keratoplasty versus deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty with Melles technique].
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using Melles technique (technique B) in patients with advanced keratoconus versus a classic technique, penetrating keratoplasty (technique A). METHODOLOGY Retrospective descriptive comparative study between technique A and technique B in homogeneous groups. RESULTS Best corrected visual acuity (Snellen te...
متن کاملNew technique of Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) is a surgical technique for cornea replacement, which the healthy host corneal endothelium is preserved. Keratoconus patients are those who benefit most from a successful DALK procedure, once the endothelium of these patients is usually normal and should therefore be maintained. Several studies comparing visual outcomes between penetrating keratoplasty...
