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 کامل[Suitability of newborn donor corneal graft in penetrating keratoplasty].
OBJECTIVE The lower recommended age of the donor cornea is a controversial matter. Although newborn corneas have a high endothelial cell density, there are anatomical, refractive (myopic shift) and postoperative problems. Two cases are analyzed; one had an atypical refractive result and the other an unexpectedly severe immune response. We also review the use of pediatric donor corneas in penetr...
متن کاملPenetrating keratoplasty for corneal ectasia after laser in situ keratomileusis.
PURPOSE To improve the visual acuity of patients with progressive keratectasia following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Five eyes of four patients underwent penetrating keratoplasty for ectasia after LASIK: In one patient the second eye was operated on 10 months after the first keratoplasty. The pre- and postoperative refraction, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity, and topo...
