The cologne rebubbling study: a reappraisal of 624 rebubblings after descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty

British Journal of Ophthalmology Aug 20, 2020

Siebelmann S, Kolb K, Scholz P, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective cohort study to analyze graft detachments before rebubbling, the influence of rebubbling on the postoperative outcome after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), and the need for rebubbling on the contralateral eye. Out of 1541 DMEKs, optical coherence tomography scans and clinical records of 499 eyes undergoing rebubbling following DMEK at the University Hospital of Cologne, Cologne, Germany, have been examined. Data reported that the mean number of detachment areas was 2.02 ± 0.9 and the mean lateral diameter of all detachments was 4534.76 ± 1920.83 μm. The overall number of rebubblings after DMEK does not affect the postoperative outcome if a rebubbling is needed. Patients who have had a rebubbling on one eye have a high chance of a rebubbling on their fellow eye.
