Does perioperative use of Rho-Kinase (ROCK) inhibitors have beneficial effect on corneal endothelial cells after phacoemulsification? SETTING: This study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Riyadh.
This was a prospective study assessing the effect of ROCK inhibitors on corneal endothelium after phacoemulsification.
Three patients have used ROCK inhibitor 1 day before and 1 week after phacoemulsification surgery, and specular microscopy and Pentacam were done preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively.
Endothelial cell density decreased to 11.3%, 9.45%, and 4.09% in eyes with ROCK inhibitors and 23.9% in one eye without ROCK inhibitor.
Perioperative ROCK inhibitor use has a possible protective effect on corneal endothelium.
围手术期使用Rho激酶(ROCK)抑制剂对白内障超声乳化术后角膜内皮细胞是否有有益作用?
本研究在利雅得的阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院进行。
这是一项前瞻性研究,评估ROCK抑制剂对白内障超声乳化术后角膜内皮的影响。
3例患者在白内障超声乳化手术前1天和术后1周使用ROCK抑制剂,术前和术后3个月进行角膜内皮镜检查和Pentacam检查。
使用ROCK抑制剂的眼中内皮细胞密度分别下降至11.3%、9.45%和4.09%,未使用ROCK抑制剂的一只眼中内皮细胞密度下降至23.9%。
围手术期使用ROCK抑制剂可能对角膜内皮有保护作用。
