Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Endothelial Cell Loss Using the Tan EndoGlide With Forceps for Insertion of the Donor Graft in DSAEK

January 25, 2011 updated by: University Health Network, Toronto
The Tan EndoGlide device results in less endothelial cell trauma during insertion of the donor corneal graft indicated by reduced endothelial cell loss at 1 year follow-up compared to the Forceps.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients presenting with corneal decompensation requiring DSAEK with or without cataract surgery for visual rehabilitation.
  • Clinical diagnosis include endothelial cell dysfunction secondary to Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, pseudophakic or aphakic bullous keratopathy, failed penetrating keratoplasty or DSAEK, iridocorneal endothelial syndrome or trauma.
  • Ability to understand the nature of the procedure and give full informed consent.
  • Patients who are able to comply with the standard DSAEK follow-up protocol at the Toronto Western Hospital.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with late stage corneal decompensation with stromal scarring unsuitable for DSAEK and therefore requiring penetrating keratoplasty.
  • Patients with complex anterior segment pathology precluding successful DSAEK procedure.
  • Patients not giving full informed consent to participate in the trial
