A 7-year review of clinical characteristics, predisposing factors and outcomes of post-keratoplasty infectious keratitis: the Nottingham infectious keratitis study
ConclusionsPKIK represents an important cause of IK and graft failure. Bullous keratopathy, OSD and suture-related complications are the commonest risk factors, highlighting the potential benefit of prophylactic topical antibiotics (for unhealthy ocular surface) and early suture removal (where possible) in reducing the risk of PKIK. Graft survival may be higher in lamellar keratoplasty following PKIK but larger studies are required to elucidate this observation. (Source: Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology)

Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty is the predominant keratoplasty procedure in Germany since 2016: a report of the DOG-section cornea and its keratoplasty registry
CONCLUSION: Main indications for corneal transplantation in Germany (2021) were FECD and pseudophakic corneal decompensation. DMEK is by far the predominant corneal transplantation procedure since 2016 followed by PKP, whose absolute number decreased only slightly during the decade from 2011 to 2021. DALK proportions remain low, but stable, whereas DSAEK decreased annually and plays a minor role in Germany.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03381794.PMID:37586835 | DOI:10.1136/bjo-2022-323162 (Source: The British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Long-Term Endothelial Cell Viability After Deep Anterior Lamellar Versus Penetrating Keratoplasty for Keratoconus
CONCLUSIONS: In keratoconus, endothelial vitality is better preserved with deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty than with penetrating keratoplasty over a 10-year follow-up.PMID:37584541 | DOI:10.6002/ect.2023.0069 (Source: Experimental and Clinical Transplantation : official journal of the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation)
