Corneal trephining for penetrating keratoplasty.
MANY complications following corneal grafting procedures may be attributed to the technical and biological problems associated with this type of surgery. It is generally agreed that accurate apposition of the graft to the margin of the incision in the recipient cornea is of the greatest importance. Manual trephining for penetrating keratoplasty frequently results in badly cut grafts, and for th...
متن کاملPenetrating keratoplasty for pseudophakic corneal oedema.
AIMS The study was designed to investigate the results of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for pseudophakic corneal oedema (PCO). METHODS Retrospective analysis of 80 consecutive patients (82 eyes) who underwent PK for PCO between the years 1980-1992 with a minimum follow up of 12 months. RESULTS PKs for PCO have accounted for as many as 20% of all grafts performed in the hospital in recent ye...
متن کاملCorneal dioptric power after penetrating keratoplasty.
The dioptric power of the cornea (spherical equivalent) was studied in 60 eyes operated on for penetrating keratoplasty. In order to determine the possible influence of (1) the underlying pathology, (2) the presence of neovascularisation, or (3) the size of the graft the sample was divided into four groups, with the following results: group A (keratoconus, same-sized graft) = 42.25 D; group B (...
متن کاملPrognostic factors for corneal graft recovery after severe corneal graft rejection following penetrating keratoplasty
BACKGROUND To investigate the outcome and prognostic factors for corneal graft recovery after severe corneal graft rejection following penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) treated with topical and systemic steroids. METHODS Fifty-eight eyes in 58 patients with severe corneal graft rejection following PKP were treated with topical and systemic steroids. Factors affecting the reversibility and mainte...
متن کامل[Traumatic wound dehiscence following penetrating keratoplasty].
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Blunt ocular trauma to a corneal transplanted eye represents a higher risk for wound rupture at the donor-recipient interface. We have evaluated the causes, clinical characteristics, treatment and outcome, particularly the graft's clarity, in patients with traumatic wound dehiscence after penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS Between March 1996 and April 2006, over a period...
