Abstract

Purpose: Analysis of surgical outcome of Non-DSEK in 100 consecutive cases performed by a single surgeon.Study design & Methods: Prospective, non randomized, non-comparative surgical case series of first consecutive 100 patients (age ≥18 years and BCVA ≤20/400) with endothelial dysfunction underwent DSEK.Follow up for 1 year. BCVA,refractive and keratometric astigmatism,endothelial cell density(ECD), graft rejections,failure,dislocation and other complication like secondary glaucoma were evaluated for 1 year post-op. Results:There were 54 males and 46 females with a mean age of 58.69±10.2 years. Indications of the surgery were PBK (70%), Fuch’s dystrophy (14%), ABK (5%). After 3 months,78% patients recovered from corneal endothelial dysfunction and regained 20/60 or better vision. At 3 months, mean ECD was 1554 +/-160 cells/mm2 with mean endothelial cell loss was 33+/-4 %. Graft dislocation in 12 eyes which were managed by rebubbling. However, Graft rejection was seen in 4 eyes (4%).
