Advances in Corneal transplatation during the triple procedure
Advances in Corneal transplantation during the triple procedure
Advances in Corneal transplantation during the triple procedure
“Open Sky” ECCE/PK Disadvantages
Open sky with increased risk of positive pressure, scleral collapse
Forward herniation of the iris / posterior capsular rupture and vitreous loss
Increased risk of choroidal hemorrhage Uncertainty of exact placement of the posterior
chamber IOL
SURGICAL ADVANCES
Suturing of donor after nucleus expression with interrupted sutures
I & A thru graft host junction Implantation of posterior chamber IOL
thru graft host junction
Results
32/34 eyes had successful implantation of the PC IOL
One eye had one haptic in front of iris, successfully repositioned
No incidence of capsular rupture, vitreous loss or lens dislocation
All grafts were clear
Conclusions
This new technique allows successful placement of a PC IOL in spite of positive vitreous pressure during the triple procedure. All grafts were clear; with no incidence of capsule rupture, vitreous loss or lens dislocation.
