Endothelial Keratoplasty: A Revolution in Evolution
2012, Survey of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :A similar hyperopic shift has also been reported by Ham et al.43 The reported mean endothelial cell loss after PK ranges from 11–29% in the first 6 months,13,14,29 16–45% at 1 year,13,14,29,92 29–54% at 2 years,13,35,92 and 70% at 5 years.59 Six-month endothelial cell loss for DSEK ranges from 13–54%10,19,33,51,52,54,108,111,126,135,136 and endothelial cell loss at 1 year ranges from 15.6–61%.9,19,108,111,126,134,135
Descemet's Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty: Safety and Outcomes. A Report by the American Academy of Ophthalmology
2009, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :This demonstrates that DSEK is a relatively astigmatism-neutral surgery, as would be expected from the cataractlike incision. Table 4 describes the mean endothelial cell loss in published series of 11 eyes or more after both PK and DSEK.16,89,90,99,101,102,106,109,111–113,119–125 Mean percent endothelial cell loss in PK ranged from 11% to 29% at 2 to 6 months, 16% to 45% at 12 months, and 29% to 54% at 24 months.
Endothelial Cell Loss after Descemet Stripping with Endothelial Keratoplasty. Influencing Factors and 2-Year Trend
2008, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :For example, 6-month ECD was correlated positively with donor ECD and was correlated inversely with donor age. Musch et al20 reported similar findings in a PK study with comparable statistical power. These results also are consistent with the findings of Nishimura et al12 that lower donor ECD and older donor age are risk factors for the development of late endothelial failure after PK.

2008, Corneal Surgery: Theory Technique and Tissue: Fourth EditionGraft Central Thickness Measurement by Rotating Scheimpflug Camera and Ultrasound Pachymetry after Penetrating Keratoplasty
2007, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Graft central thickness measurement is a useful method for following patients who have undergone penetrating keratoplasty. Graft central thickness decreases in the early postoperative months,23–26 then after the first postoperative year it increases progressively and significantly over time.27–30 After the first few postoperative weeks the graft central thickness has prognostic value: an increase in graft thickness above the upper normal limit for a specific postoperative time-point may be associated with an increased risk of graft failure or may indicate a graft complication.30
Outcome of graft central thickness after penetrating keratoplasty
2005, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :In a study including 45 patients, Lindstrom et al11 reported an average graft thickness of 0.69 mm at 1 day after surgery, decreasing to 0.54 mm after 3 months. In a series of 34 grafts, Bourne12 reported a decrease in graft thickness from an average of 0.645 mm at 4 days to an average of 0.551 mm at 3 months. During the last 9 months of the first postoperative year, no significant modifications of graft thickness were observed in our patients.
