[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...

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 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...

BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the risk factors, clinical features and outcomes of surgery for traumatic wound dehiscence (TWD) following penetrating keratoplasty (PK). METHODS: Twenty-six patients with TWD following PK were evaluated retrospectively in terms of factors related to the trauma, types of reconstructive surgery, final graft clarity, and visual acuity. RESULTS: There were 26 patie...
