A 10-year review of underlying diseases for endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK/DMEK) in a tertiary referral hospital in Japan
Clinical Ophthalmology Aug 14, 2018
Nishino T, et al. - At a tertiary referral hospital in Japan, experts sought to report a 10-year review of endothelial keratoplasty (EK) procedures, Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), and underlying diseases. Over 10 years, they noted a change in the distribution of EK procedures (DSAEK/DMEK) and underlying diseases. Among all EK procedures, the proportion of re-DSAEK and DMEK increased. Most significantly, decreased argon laser iridotomy and Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy and increased trabeculectomy and failed DSAEK were noted among the underlying diseases.
