Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe incidence, diagnosis and therapy for endothelial immune reactions after modern lamellar corneal transplantat surgery (DMEK, DSAEK, DALK). A PubMed-based literature review and our own clinical and experimental data are evaluated. There is no longer an endothelial immune reaction after DALK for keratoconus. DMEK significantly reduces the risk for endothelial immune reactions after surgery for Fuchs dystrophy. Modern lamellar corneal transplant techniques such as DALK and DMEK have nearly abolished the risk for endothelial immune reactions in the avascular recipient bed.
