Preface
Corneal transplantation has been performed for more than 100 years. Until 15 years ago
the state-of-the art type of transplantation was penetrating keratoplasty, but since the
start of this millennium, newly designed surgical techniques have developed
considerably. Today, the vast majority of keratoplasty procedures are performed as
delicate lamellar procedures either assisted with fine microkeratomes or femtosecond
lasers or using skilled surgical dissection procedures.
These advancements have helped patients undergoing keratoplasty to have a much
faster visual recovery and a more stable eye with less risk of rejection episodes.
Besides covering updated chapters on penetrating keratoplasty, and anterior and
posterior lamellar procedures, this textbook also gives a thorough overview of the
history of corneal transplantation and a detailed presentation of the microstructural
components of the cornea essential to keratoplasty procedures. Corneal banking has
changed over recent years as graft preparation for anterior and posterior lamellar
keratoplasty now often is performed within the bank. Chapters have been devoted to
description of graft registries, which are an indispensable source of information of daily
practices and outcomes, and to economical evaluations of keratoplasty procedures. The
optical consequences of a keratoplasty procedure, especially in relation to simultaneous
or later cataract surgery, are discussed in addition to current methods for reducing post-
keratoplasty astigmatism. Economic considerations on cost and benefit of medical
treatment and surgical procedures are today an integrated part of the health system in
many countries, and a chapter covers these aspects of corneal transplantation.
This textbook is aimed at presenting an updated review of the new techniques and to
assist fellows and corneal surgeons in their advice and selection of patients for the best
surgical procedure considering benefits and risks.
