The corneal endothelial monolayer helps maintain corneal transparency through its barrier
and ionic “pump” functions. This transparency function can become compromised, resulting …

Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) is continually evolving both in surgical technique and clinical
outcomes. Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) has replaced penetrating …

The first successful penetrating keratoplasty (PK) was performed in 1905 by Zirm 1 in a
patient who was blinded by bilateral chemical lyme injuries. Since this early corneal …

Corneal transplantation is the most commonly performed human tissue transplantation
procedure worldwide. Because of the large number of transplants, corneal graft failure has …

Purpose To identify the causes of failure of the different surgical corneal graft techniques:
penetrating keratoplasty (PK), deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK), Descemet …

Purpose To analyze graft survival of endothelial keratoplasty (EK) under a previous failed
penetrating keratoplasty (PK) compared to repeat PK. Design Retrospective, comparative …

PURPOSE: To evaluate graft survival, risk factors for failure, complications, and visual
rehabilitation in patients who underwent Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty …

Glaucoma is a well-known complication after corneal transplantation surgery. Traditional
corneal transplantation surgery, specifically penetrating keratoplasty, has been slowly …

Glaucoma is a common complication of corneal transplantation, and the degree of
aggressiveness is often related to the indication for corneal surgery. Although postoperative …

Purpose Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is superior to penetrating
keratoplasty (PK) in terms of visual rehabilitation, intraoperative safety and risk of rejection …
