Popis: Purpose To assess the safety of the laryngeal mask I-Gel® in keratoplasty (KP) performed under general anaesthesia. Methods Patients with indications for KP (n = 110) were enrolled in a prospective study and randomly assigned to I-Gel® (n = 55; 30 lamellar KP and 25 penetrating KP) or tracheal tube (n = 55; 29 lamellar KP and 26 penetrating KP). Peri-operative complications and recovery time were compared between two groups using t-test or χ2 test. Contraindications to elective use of the laryngeal mask airway were exclusion criteria (oesophageal reflux, extreme obesity, oropharyngeal pathology, expected difficult intubation). Results No surgical peri-operative complications were reported in either group. There was a significantly greater incidence of coughing at extubation and after extubation in the tracheal group (25/55; 45%) than in the laryngeal mask group (3/55; 5%) (p
