PURPOSE: To compare endothelial cell density (ECD) loss rates in penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).

Preoperative surgeon evaluation of corneal endothelial status: the Viability Control of Human Endothelial Cells before Keratoplasty (V-CHECK) study protocol [PDF]
Introduction The success of keratoplasty strongly depends on the health status of the transplanted endothelial cells. Donor corneal tissues are routinely screened for endothelial damage before shipment; however, surgical teams have currently no means of ...

Penetrating keratoplasty has been the standard procedure for treating diseases of the cornea. Recent advances in corneal surgery have enabled component surgery of the cornea to be performed, replacing only the necessary tissue instead of the entire cornea. Major changes oc- curring in corneal transplantation are related in part to better equipment, and

Challenges in the complex management of post-keratoplasty glaucoma
Glaucoma is a serious complication after corneal transplantation and itself a common cause for graft failure and leading cause of vision loss post-keratoplasty due to corneal endothelial decompensation.

Purpose: To investigate endothelial keratoplasty lenticules prepared from fresh whole eyes via Gebauer SLc Original (SLc) versus Moria CBm Carriazo-Barraquer (CBm), and those prepared from corneoscleral buttons via SLc versus Moria One-Use Plus (OUP) in ...

Endothelial keratoplasty versus penetrating keratoplasty for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy [PDF]
Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED) is a condition in which there is premature degeneration of corneal endothelial cells. When the number of endothelial cells is reduced to a significant degree, fluid begins to accumulate within the cornea. As a result, the cornea loses its transparency and the individual suffers a reduction in vision.

A cost-minimization analysis of tissue-engineered constructs for corneal endothelial transplantation. [PDF]
Corneal endothelial transplantation or endothelial keratoplasty has become the preferred choice of transplantation for patients with corneal blindness due to endothelial dysfunction.
