Systematic review and meta-analysis of femtosecond lasera??enabled keratoplasty versus conventional penetrating keratoplasty
摘要: Purpose: The aim of this meta-analysis is to compare femtosecond laser–enabled keratoplasty with conventional penetrating keratoplasty regarding postoperative astigmatism, visual functions, graft rejection, graft failure, and complications. Methods: Eligible studies were retrieved from five mainstream electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrial.gov. Postoperative topographic astigmatism was set as the primary outcome, and best-corrected visual acuity, spherical equivalent, endothelial cell density, graft rejection, graft failure, and complications were chosen as the secondary outcomes. Standard mean difference and risk ratio were the size effects for continuous data and binomial data, respectively. The data were pooled through either the random-effects model or the fixed-effects model based on data heterogeneity. Moreover, subgroup analyses were conducted when the heterogeneity occurred distinctly (I2 > 50%). Results: A total of seven comparative studies were included. The pooled standard mean difference (?0.32, 95% confidence interval: ?0.74 to 0.10) showed that femtosecond laser–enabled keratoplasty was not superior over conventional penetrating keratoplasty to decrease postoperative topographic astigmatism (p = 0.14). However, best-corrected visual acuity after femtosecond laser–enabled keratoplasty was significantly better than that after conventional penetrating keratoplasty (p = 0.00, standard mean difference: ?0.23, 95% confidence interval: ?0.37 to ?0.10). Furthermore, endothelial cell density after femtosecond laser–enabled keratoplasty was preserved significantly better (p = 0.03, standard mean difference: 0.63, 95% confidence interval: 0.07–1.20). Moreover, spherical equivalent, graft rejection, graft failure, and complications represented no distinct differences between femtosecond laser–enabled keratoplasty and conventional penetrating keratoplasty (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Femtosecond laser–enabled keratoplasty may not be superior over conventional penetrating keratoplasty in decreasing postoperative topographic astigmatism, but might have advantages to achieve best-corrected visual acuity and endothelial cell density preservation. In addition, the two techniques seem to be comparable regarding spherical equivalent, graft rejection/failure, and complications.

Comparison of Excimer Laser Versus Femtosecond Laser Assisted Trephination in Penetrating Keratoplasty: A Retrospective Study
摘要: Introduction: To compare the impact of non-mechanical excimer-assisted (EXCIMER) and femtosecond laser-assisted (FEMTO) trephination on outcomes after penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Methods: In this retrospective study, 68 eyes from 23 females and 45 males (mean age at time of surgery, 53.3 ± 19.8 years) were included. Inclusion criteria were one surgeon (BS), primary central PK, Fuchs’ dystrophy (FUCHS) or keratoconus (KC), no previous intraocular surgery, graft oversize 0.1 mm and 16-bite double running suture. Trephination was performed using a manually guided 193-nm Zeiss Meditec (EXCIMER group: 18 MEL70 excimer laser in the FUCHS, 17 KC) or 60-kHz IntraLaseTM femtosecond laser (FEMTO group: 16 FUCHS, 17 KC). Subjective refractometry (trial glasses) and topography analysis (Pentacam HR; corneal Casia SS-1000 AS-OCT; TMS-5) were performed preoperatively, before removal of the first suture (11.4 ± 1.9 months) and after removal of the second suture (22.6 ± 3.8 months). Results: Before suture removal, mean refractive/AS-OCT topographic astigmatism did not differ significantly between EXCIMER and FEMTO. After suture removal, mean refractive/astigmatism Pentacam/AS-OCT topographic was significantly higher (6.2 ± 2.9 D/7.1 ± 3.2 D/7.4 ± 3.3 D) than in the EXCIMER patients (4.3 ± 3.0 D/4.4 ± 3.1 D/4.0 ± 2.9 D) (p B 0.005). Mean corrected distance visual acuity increased from 0.22 and 0.23 preoperatively to 0.55 and 0.53 before or 0.7 and 0.6 after suture removal in the EXCIMER and FEMTO groups, respectively. Differences between EXCIMER and FEMTO were only pronounced in the KC subgroup. Conclusion: Non-mechanical EXCIMER trephination seems to have advantages regarding postoperative corneal astigmatism and visual acuity compared with FEMTO trephination, especially in KC. A bigger sample size and longer follow-up are needed to evaluate the long-term impact of EXCIMER and FEMTO trephination on postoperative topographic and visual outcomes.

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Penetrating Keratoplasty for Treating Infective Keratitis
摘要: To report the results of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) assisted by femtosecond laser in the treatment of persistent infective keratitis. Seven eyes of 7 patients with diagnosed infective keratitis were recruited. They showed no improvement on maximal medical therapy for a week. The causative organisms were Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 3 cases and Fusarium in 4 cases. All cases underwent femtosecond laser-assisted PKP with a mushroom-shaped cut. Post-operative antimicrobial medications were continued for 8–12 weeks. Sutures were removed after 6 months. Therapeutic success was de?ned as eradication of primary infection. Functional success was considered when visual function improves to 20/200 or better. All 7 eyes underwent femtosecond laser-assisted PKP. There were no intraoperative complications, and all patients had uneventful recipient cornea separation. Anatomic, therapeutic, and functional success was achieved in all patients. During the 6-month follow-up period, no recurrence of infection was reported. The average preoperative corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was 2.07 log of the minimal angle of resolution (LogMAR) 6 0.21, whereas at 6 months postoperatively, the average CDVA was 0.17 LogMAR 6 0.13, with a P value of 0.00025. Femtosecond laser-assisted PKP was found to be an effective method for treating infective keratitis (particularly that caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Fusarium) that did not respond to medical treatment. Early surgical intervention before the disease becomes advanced is recommended.

Contact Transscleral Cyclodiode Laser Treatment for Refractory Glaucoma After Penetrating Keratoplasty
摘要: This is a retrospective study with long-term follow-up using transscleral cyclodiode laser photocoagulation (TCP) with low complication rate and good graft survival and intraocular pressure (IOP) control. Selective 180-degree TCP may offer a good IOP control with reduced complication rates.
