Pre-Descemet's endothelial keratoplasty
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) has supplanted the penetrating keratoplasty procedure for corneal endothelial disorders. A review of literature on pre-descemet's EK, that is, a latest iterant in EK is described along with our experiences.

PURPOSE To report a case of retained Descemet's membrane following penetrating keratoplasty in a patient suffering from Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy. The use of confocal microscopy, histopathological tissue analysis, and treatment options are discussed. METHODS Case report of an 85-year-old man with a past ophthalmic history of atrophic macular degeneration, underwent a penetrating ke...

AIM To evaluate visual outcome and endothelial cell density (ECD) after Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) in comparison with Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) in the fellow eye for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED). DESIGN Single-centre, retrospective case series. METHODS 30 eyes of 30 patients undergoing DMEK, who completed a 1-year follow-up...
متن کاملHistorical Review and Update of Surgical Treatment for Corneal Endothelial Diseases
The cornea remains in a state of deturgescence, maintained by endothelial cell Na+/K+ ATPase and by tight junctions between endothelial cells that limit entrance of fluid into the stroma. Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) was initially described by Fuchs in 1910 as a combination of epithelial and stromal edema in older patients. It manifests as bilateral, albeit asymmetric, central co...

PURPOSE To evaluate visual outcomes, endothelial cell density and complications following Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). METHODS This study included 40 consecutive eyes that underwent DMEK for various pathologies involving the corneal endothelium. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and endothelial cell density (ECD) were measured and compared before and 6 months after s...
متن کاملEndothelial keratoplasty: case selection in the learning curve.
PURPOSE Many corneal surgeons are making the transition from penetrating keratoplasty to endothelial keratoplasty techniques such as Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty and Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty in the routine treatment of corneal endothelial failure. Donor dislocation is the commonest complication of these newer techniques. We set out to determine wh...
