[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 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...
متن کاملIntermediate-term corneal storage.
Human and rabbit corneas were evaluated for suitability for keratoplasty donor material after storage in moist chambers or soaked in various media. A new chamber was designed which allows corneas to be stored for up to two weeks at ordinary refrigerator temperature. Corneas with scleral rims were placed in the chamber at 4° C. The epithelium faced down into the medium of modified Ringer's or ph...
متن کاملIn vitro specular microscope perfusion of M-K- and moist chamber-stored human corneas.
Human donor corneas were stored in McCarey-Kaufman (M-K) medium for 3 to 6 days; then they were mounted in the specular microscope, and the endothelial surface perfused with a glutathione-bicarbonate-Ringer solution. During storage, the corneal thickness increased 37% above an assumed normal of 0.520 mm. The corneas did not have sufficient active thinning to be accepted as viable when tested by...
متن کاملEndothelial keratoplasty with infant donor tissue
Here we report a case of endothelial keratoplasty with infant donor tissue obtained after brain death. A 52-year-old man with endothelial dysfunction of unknown cause in the right eye underwent non-Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (nDSAEK) with tissue from an infant donor (2 years). Intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Best corrected visual acuity a...
