Morphologic variations in graft endothelium.

The morphologic features of corneal endothelium were studied with clinical specular microscopy in 33 cases of clear corneal transplants. A complete morphologic profile of the corneal endothelium, which included cell density, mean cell area, and variation in cell size (polymegethism), was obtained with an automated, pattern-analysis system. Our observations demonstrated variation in all these parameters of graft endothelium with time, indicating that graft endothelium is in a state of transition during healing and that the end point to the healing process is still to be determined.

Penetrating keratoplasty following thermokeratoplasty.

We analyzed the long-term results of penetrating keratoplasty following thermokeratoplasty in 17 eyes, and these were compared with 44 eyes in which penetrating keratoplasty was the primary procedure. There was a greater incidence of graft rejection in the TKP group than in the non-TKP group although this difference was not statistically significant. A definite causative factor for this discrepancy could not be identified. Mild inflammatory reaction in TKP-treated corneas and the generally poorer prognosis in corneas needing TKP may be the causative factors for the greater number of failed grafts in the TKP group.
