PURPOSE: To describe the feasibility of same-day, consecutive use of a single donor cornea in 5 patients with corneal pathology, who required anterior lamellar and endothelial keratoplasties.
METHODS: Descemet membrane (DM) with endothelium was completely stripped from a single corneoscleral button and punched out from the endothelial side with a circular, standard punch. Using a custom-made punch for linear cutting of DM, we obtained 4 quarter-grafts (Q-graft). The denuded and punched-out corneal stroma was transplanted in 1 patient with keratoconus, using the big-bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) technique. The 4 DM Q-grafts were consecutively transplanted to 4 patients with Fuchs dystrophy using the quarter Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (Q-DMEK or 1/4 DMEK) technique.
RESULTS: All surgical procedures were performed successfully during 1 surgical session. No intraoperative or postoperative complications requiring intervention were observed. Six months after surgery, the decimal best-corrected visual acuity achieved was 0.66 after DALK and 0.95 ± 0.1 (range, 0.8-1.0) in the 4 Q-DMEK cases; the endothelial cell density was 1680 ± 254 cells/mm (range, 1492-2039 cells/mm). Six months postoperatively, all corneas were clear.
CONCLUSIONS: In this limited series, we demonstrate that 1 donor cornea can be successfully used for 5 recipients. Although performing DALK and Q-DMEK on a single day is technically challenging, it is feasible and can dramatically reduce the shortage and the cost of corneal tissue. Strict case selection is necessary. Further study on this approach is required.
