| Popis: | Endothelial keratoplasty is the most commonly performed type of corneal transplant in the United States, currently accounting for 60% of total grafts. The anterior segment complications are well documented; however, the posterior segment complications may not be as familiar to the anterior segment surgeon. These include endophthalmitis, cystoid macular edema (CME), choroidal detachment, graft dislocation to the posterior segment, and retinal detachment. CME is the most common postoperative retinal complication with a reported incidence of up to 12.5%, which usually responds well to topical therapy. This article will review the incidence, prevention and management of posterior segment complications after endothelial keratoplasty. |
