Outcomes of Trabeculectomy After Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty: A Comparison With Penetrating Keratoplasty

Compared to trabeculectomy after PK, trabeculectomy after DSAEK achieved lower mean IOP at 12 months, and a larger proportion of DSAEK patients achieved an IOP of less than 12 mm Hg. There was no difference in the need for intervention after trabeculectomy, or incidence of other complications. Trabeculectomy is an effective surgical procedure for the management of postgraft ocular hypertension in DSAEK patients, and DSAEK may have an advantage in terms of success of trabeculectomy surgery over PK.
