Unplanned Return to the Operating Room After Keratoplasty
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, and common reasons for unplanned returns to the operating room within 90 days following various types of keratoplasty. They found that 7% of patients experienced unplanned returns, with the highest rates observed in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and the most frequent reason being graft detachment. The study concluded that national data on these returns could provide valuable insights into the quality of corneal surgical procedures.
