To present the clinical outcomes of the Neusidl Corneal Inserter (NCI) (Fischer Surgical, Imperial, MO), a new donor inserter for Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).
Six eyes of 6 Japanese patients (mean age = 74.0 years) with endothelial dysfunction were enrolled in this prospective, non-comparative study. All patients had a small cornea of 9.0 mm or less in diameter. A donor was inserted into the eye using NCI. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative donor endothelial cell densities (ECD), and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were evaluated.
Donor loading onto NCI was successful in all cases. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were noted. All cases reached more than 20/63 BCVA within 12 months. Mean ECD was 2,441 cells/mm(2) (mean loss = 22.1%) at 6 months and 2,159 cells/mm(2) (mean loss = 31.0%) at 12 months.
Graft insertion with NCI is safe in DSAEK with low endothelial cell loss.
介绍一种用于Descemet膜剥脱自动内皮角膜移植术(DSAEK)的新型供体植入器——Neusidl角膜植入器(NCI,Fischer Surgical公司,密苏里州帝国市)的临床结果。
本前瞻性、非对照研究纳入了6例日本患者(平均年龄 = 74.0岁)的6只患有内皮功能障碍的眼睛。所有患者的角膜直径均小于或等于9.0 mm。使用NCI将供体植入眼内。评估术中及术后并发症、术后供体内皮细胞密度(ECD)和最佳矫正视力(BCVA)。
所有病例中供体均成功装载到NCI上。未观察到术中或术后并发症。所有病例在12个月内BCVA均达到20/63以上。6个月时平均ECD为2441个细胞/mm²(平均损失 = 22.),12个月时为2159个细胞/mm²(平均损失 = 31.0%)。
在DSAEK中使用NCI植入移植物是安全的,内皮细胞损失较低。
