Comparison of 5% sulfur hexafluoride versus 100% air tamponade in descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty

Cornea Sep 16, 2017

Ampazas P, et al. - The rebubbling rate and clinical outcomes of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) with 5% sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas versus 100% air as a tamponade for graft attachment are compared in this study. The utilization of a tamponade with 5% SF6 yielded a significantly lower incidence of graft detachment requiring surgical reintervention with no detrimental impact on graft endothelial cells. Thus, routine utilization of 5% SF6 for a graft tamponade in DMEK is suggested.
