Total or subtotal full thickness recipient bed cut to repair donor-recipient curvature disparity in cases of DM rupture with manual DALK.

CONCLUSION: The existence of a donor-recipient curvature disparity should be investigated as a possible underlying mechanism of refractory double AC. Total or subtotal full thickness recipient bed cut may be considered to repair donor-recipient curvature disparity in cases of DM rupture occurring during manual DALK. Repairing the DM rupture and avoiding a conversion to PK in high-risk transplant cases are crucial. PMID: 32525428 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
