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)
