  Donor Characteristics in Graft Detachment after Posterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
  Author(s): Lisa Sandra*
  
  Posterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (PLK), including Descemet's stripping automated endothelial Keratoplasty and Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK), has revolutionized the treatment of corneal endothelial diseases. Despite its high success rates, graft detachment remains a significant complication, affecting visual outcomes and necessitating re-grafting in some cases. This article delves into the donor characteristics associated with graft detachment after PLK, exploring various factors such as donor age, endothelial cell density, graft preparation techniques, and surgical expertise. Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing graft selection and surgical outcomes in PLK procedures. Posterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (PLK) has emerged as the standard of care for treating corneal endothelial disorders. While the technique offers numerous adva.. Read More»
