Risk 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 کاملA new surgical technique for deep stromal, anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
AIMS To describe a new surgical technique for deep stromal anterior lamellar keratoplasty. METHODS In eye bank eyes and sighted human eyes, aqueous was exchanged by air, to visualise the posterior corneal surface--that is, the "air to endothelium" interface. Through a 5.0 mm scleral incision, a deep stromal pocket was created across the cornea, using the air to endothelium interface as a refe...
متن کاملBlunt scissors stromal dissection technique for deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty
OBJECTIVE We describe a modified technique for performing lamellar dissection in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty after failure to achieve a "big bubble" detachment of Descemet's membrane (DM) with deep intrastromal pneumatic injection. METHODS The technique utilizes blunt lamellar dissection with blunt-tipped corneal mini scissors as an alternative to a crescent blade, which can be diffic...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty for the treatment of stromal corneal pathology
BACKGROUND To describe the initial outcomes and safety of anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) assisted by a femtosecond laser for stromal corneal pathology. METHODS A non-comparative case series of 14 eyes (13 patients) with various stromal corneal diseases underwent ALK with a femtosecond laser. Femtosecond laser settings, technique, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual 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...
