description | To determine the relationship between the preoperative degree of corneal edema in the recipient and the endothelial cell density in grafts after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). METHODS: This retrospective case series enrolled 111 eyes of 107 patients who underwent DSAEK. The preoperative and postoperative central corneal thickness (CCT) was measured by anterior-segment optical coherence tomography. Eyes were divided into three groups according to the preoperative recipient CCT: group A (mild edema): 550 μm<CCT≤750 μm, n=38; group B (moderate edema): 750 μm<CCT≤900 μm, n=51; and group C (severe edema): 900 μm<CCT≤1,500 μm, n=22. The endothelial cell loss (ECL) was calculated by in vivo confocal microscopy and compared at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. RESULTS: The recipient CCT (all groups combined) was 805.99±132.70 μm preoperatively and decreased to 656.31±105.02 μm at 1 month, decreased to 626.08±81.40 μm at 6 months, and remained stable between 12 (P=0.144) and 24 months (P=0.485) postoperatively. The mean ECL was 27.34±15.43%, 33.56±17.13%, 39.18±16.71%, and 45.87±14.27% at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. The percentage of ECL in group C was higher than that in the other 2 groups through the 24-month follow-up. The difference in ECL between groups A and C was significant at 24 months (group A: 42.45±14.47%; group C: 52.49±10.65%; P=0.019). CONCLUSIONS: The degree of corneal edema in the recipient was associated with implant ECL. Compared with mild and moderate corneal edema, the severe corneal edema may cause greater ECL after DSAEK. |
