Comparison between femtosecond laser mushroom configuration and manual trephine straight-edge configuration deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.

Aim: To compare outcomes and complications of femtosecond laser (FSL) mushroom configuration and manual trephine (MT) straight-edge configuration deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).

Methods: A cohort of 19 consecutive eyes that underwent FSL DALK was compared with 19 consecutive eyes that underwent MT DALK. Surgery was performed for eyes with keratoconus, corneal ectasia and scarring.

Long-term outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted mushroom configuration deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.

Purpose: To review the long-term outcomes after femtosecond laser (FSL)-assisted mushroom configuration deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).

Methods: Noncomparative case series of 19 eyes from 19 patients who underwent FSL-assisted mushroom configuration DALK.

Results: Data were available for 14 eyes at 1 month, for 14 at 3 months, for 16 at 6 months, for 10 at 9 months, and for 8 at 1 year.
