Survey of Rejection Prophylaxis Following Suture Removal in Penetrating Keratoplasty in Germany

DISCUSSION: Rejection prophylaxis following PK is currently poorly standardised and not evidence-based. All included centres perform medical aftercare following suture removal. It is assumed that different treatment strategies show different cost-benefit ratios. In the face of the diversity, a systematic analysis is required to develop an optimised regimen for all patients.PMID:33634457 | DOI:10.1055/a-1353-6149
