[Complications after endothelial keratoplasty: three years of experience].

Objective: To study the complications after Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK).

Methods: Retrospective study of 75 eyes in 67 patients with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy or bullous keratopathy operated on in the Instituto de Oftalmología La Arruzafa from March, 2007 until March, 2010. Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation was involved in 30 cases.

[Functional results after endothelial queratoplasty: three years of experience].

Objective: To study the refractive and visual results after Descemet's stripping automated endothelial queratoplasty (DSAEK).

Methods: Retrospective study of 75 eyes in 67 patients with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy or bullous queratopathy operated on in the Instituto de Oftalmología La Arruzafa from March, 2007 until March, 2010. Phacoemulsification and IOL implantation was involved in 30 cases.

Late spontaneous resolution of a massive detachment of Descemet's membrane after phacoemulsification.

We report the spontaneous resolution of a massive detachment of Descemet's membrane 10 months after uneventful phacoemulsification. Diagnosis of the detachment was delayed because of severe corneal edema; thus, surgery was not performed. We propose that this complication of severe corneal edema after cataract surgery be considered and, given its excellent outcome, we recommend surgical treatment.
