Patients with Fuchs’ endothelial corneal dystrophy treated with either Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty or Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty experienced similar 5-year graft survival rates, according to a retrospective cohort study.
Researchers reviewed 2,017 consecutive cases performed by 13 surgeons between 2003 and 2012. The cases included 1,312 DSEK procedures and 705 DMEK procedures. They evaluated main outcomes measures of immunologic rejection episodes, graft failure or replacement, and endothelial cell loss.
