Introduction

Donor age is one of the main factors affecting graft detachment. Numerous
studies have indicated a link between higher rates of graft separation and older
donor ages. Graft detachment is more likely to occur in older donor corneas
because they usually have lower Endothelial Cell Density (ECD) and changed
endothelial cell shape. There is, however, conflicting data; other research
indicate that there is no meaningful correlation between graft detachment
and donor age. To clarify the exact connection between donor age and graft
detachment risk, more investigation is necessary [1]. After PLK, Endothelial Cell
Density (ECD) is a crucial factor in determining graft survival. Graft detachment
rates are often lower in donor corneas with higher ECD. Maintaining corneal
moisture and transparency is mostly dependent on the Endothelial Cell Layer
(ECD), and a larger ECD offers superior functional reserve against detachment
pressures. Therefore, choosing donor corneas with sufficient ECD is crucial to
reducing the chance of graft detachment after PLK.
Graft detachment rates may also be influenced by the graft preparation
technique. The ways that different techniques, such DSAEK and DMEK, handle
and prepare grafts vary. According to studies, DMEK, which just transplants
the Descemet's membrane and endothelium, may have a lower detachment
rate than DSAEK, which also transplants extra stromal tissue. One possible
explanation for the DMEK graft's lower detachment rates is its decreased
thickness and manipulation. However, for DMEK to be used successfully,
appropriate surgical training and experience are essential. Graft detachment
rates can be reduced in large part by the operating ophthalmologist's surgical
expertise and ability. Research has shown that PLK procedures have a
learning curve, with higher rates of detachment noted in the early stages
of a surgeon's training. Proper instruction and lowering the chance of graft
separation requires skill in graft management, insertion, and placement. To
maximize the results of PLK treatments, surgeons should pursue ongoing
improvement and adherence to established surgical guidelines [2].

Description

Cooling during the death to preservation window has also been studied in connection to corneal graft viability. By slowing down cell digestion and keeping cells in a cooling state prior to protection, benefactor refrigeration appears to be crucial in preventing early endothelial damage. Although the amount of time spent in refrigeration was not examined, one analysis nearly found that refrigeration at this time was associated with essentially higher probability of reasonableness for transplantation. Others found that only when the passing to safeguarding time exceeded 12 hours did benefactor refrigeration have a positive impact on ECD. This study's goal is to further examine the effects of benefactor, beneficiary, and unite characteristics, particularly giver age, beneficiary sex, history of diabetes and hypertension, history of prior transfers, and endothelial cell thickness passage Time-in-conservation, demise toprotection, and to-cooling time on corneal transplant outcomes, including best mended visual keenness improvement, rebubble rates, and regraft rates.

Conclusion

Graft survival and optical results are also impacted by graft detachment, which is still a major problem in posterior lamellar membrane. Graft preparation methods, endothelial cell density, age, and surgical skill are all important factors in predicting the likelihood of graft detachment. Based on these considerations, donor selection criteria and surgical methods can be optimized to reduce graft detachment rates and enhance PLK surgery results. The exact mechanisms behind graft detachment must be clarified by more research in order to create management and preventative plans. Overall, cooling was linked to early visual improvement, according to our findings, but this relationship was not statistically significant a year following surgery. Additional testing should examine findings over longer time periods than a year and in a larger companion.
