Moderately Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Repeat Penetrating Keratoplasty.

Repeat PK provided relatively safe and effective moderately long-term surgical outcomes.

Donor Corneal Endothelial Cell Maturity and Its Impact on Graft Survival in Glaucoma Patients Undergoing Corneal Transplantation.

The findings in this prospective cohort study revealed that the use of donor corneal grafts containing mature-differentiated corneal endothelial cells could maintain the survival of the transplanted graft for a long-term period, even in patients…

Effect of Trabeculotomy on Corneal Endothelial Cell Loss in Cases of After Penetrating-Keratoplasty Glaucoma.

TLO for post-PK glaucoma appeared to safely lower IOP, although repeated surgeries were required in some patients, and did not accelerate CEC loss.

Predictors of cytomegalovirus corneal endotheliitis postcorneal transplantation.

CMV corneal endotheliitis developed postcorneal transplantation with coin-shaped lesions. Careful postoperative follow-up, especially within the first 12 months after surgery, is necessary for patients with a history of glaucoma or anterior uveitis.

Corneal Graft Survival Outcomes After Glaucoma Surgery and Medical Treatment.

Our findings showed that TLO is associated with a lower risk of graft failure compared with TLE. Outflow facility reconstruction procedures, such as TLO, seem to be effective first-line surgical options for postkeratoplasty glaucoma.
