Posterior Lamellar Graft Preparation: A Prospective Review from an Eye Bank on Current and Future Aspects
Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a corneal surgical technique which selectively replaces the damaged posterior part of the cornea with a healthy donor graft retaining the rest of the tissue intact. There is a need to validate and standardize the donor tissue before grafting due to certain issues that can lead to consequences such as graft failure due to poor endothelial cell...

PURPOSE To report a case of progressive fibrotic contraction of the posterior lamellar graft after initially successful Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). METHODS Retrospective report of clinical data and histopathological analysis of excised corneal tissue. RESULTS A 63-year-old woman underwent uncomplicated DSAEK in her left eye due to endothelial dystrophy. ...

METHODS Ophthalmologists that transplanted corneas processed by BOS outside of the Ophthalmology Hospital of Sorocaba ...
متن کاملCorneal Donor Tissue Preparation for Endothelial Keratoplasty
Over the past ten years, corneal transplantation surgical techniques have undergone revolutionary changes. Since its inception, traditional full thickness corneal transplantation has been the treatment to restore sight in those limited by corneal disease. Some disadvantages to this approach include a high degree of post-operative astigmatism, lack of predictable refractive outcome, and disturba...
متن کاملLamellar keratoplasty with lyophilized tissue for treatment of corneal scarring.
BACKGROUND A pilot study was carried out in Pakistan to assess the feasibility of the use of lathed freeze-dried corneal tissue in the treatment of corneal scarring. METHOD Six eyes underwent lamellar keratoplasty and were followed up for 18 months. RESULTS Visual improvement was obtained in every eye. In one eye, the procedure was complicated by delayed epithelialization of the graft, but ...
