    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Regrafting became the leading reason for corneal transplants. The incidence of certain corneal diseases, like inflammatory conditions, decreased, while others, such as aphakic bullous keratopathy and Fuchs

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Corneal Surgery
    • Transplantation Medicine

    Background:

    • Corneal transplantation (keratoplasty) is a common surgical procedure to restore vision.
    • Understanding trends in indications for keratoplasty is crucial for surgical planning and resource allocation.
    • Historical data provides insights into the evolving landscape of corneal diseases requiring surgical intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the incidence of corneal conditions treated with keratoplasty over a 33-year period (1941-1973).
    • To analyze changes in the relative importance of different corneal diseases as indications for keratoplasty.
    • To identify emerging trends in corneal pathologies necessitating keratoplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical and pathologic review of 1,057 recipient corneal buttons.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Data collected from the Wilmer Institute archives.
  • Analysis of indications for keratoplasty between 1941 and 1973.

    • Main Results:

    • Regrafting emerged as the most frequent indication for keratoplasty in the latter part of the study period.
    • A decrease in the relative importance of inflammatory conditions as indications for keratoplasty was observed.
    • An increase in indications for aphakic bullous keratopathy (including vitreous touch) and Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy was noted.

    Conclusions:

    • The indications for corneal transplantation have shifted significantly between 1941 and 1973.
    • Regrafting has become a primary reason for performing keratoplasty.
    • Changes in disease prevalence and surgical management likely contributed to the observed trends in keratoplasty indications.
