Resumen

MOKEY CASTELLANOS, Miguel O et al. Corneal rejection and re-transplantation. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.20, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

An retrospective observational analytical research was conducted on corneal transplants performed at Ophthalmological Service in “Hermanos Ameijeiras” hospital . Seventy six patients had graft rejection and were compared to a control group of 89 patients that did not present rejection in the same period of time. Keratoconus was the prevailing corneal problem.  The highest rejection rate corresponded to keratoherpes (43,5%) whereas the lowest rate was for keratoconus (8,8%). Multiplicity of rejections was analyzed and it was found that mostly one graft rejection occured, but number of rejections was associated with the need of re-transplantation.  It was found that the results of medical or surgical performance were related to the cause of graft rejection. A survival index (Kaplan-Meier) was estimated, which showed that occurence of graf rejection is less probable in the first two years
