Stimulated penetrating keratoplasty using real-time virtual intraoperative surgical optical coherence tomography.

ABSTRACT: An intraoperative surgical microscope is an essential tool in a neuro- or ophthalmological surgical environment. Yet, it has an inherent limitation to classify subsurface information because it only provides the surface images. To compensate for and assist in this problem, combining the surgical microscope with optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been adapted. We developed a real-time virtual intraoperative surgical OCT (VISOCT) system by adapting a spectral-domain OCT scanner with a commercial surgical microscope. Thanks to our custom-made beam splitting and image display subsystems, the OCT images and microscopic images are simultaneously visualized through an ocular lens or the eyepiece of the microscope. This improvement helps surgeons to focus on the operation without distraction to view OCT images on another separate display. Moreover, displaying the OCT live images on the eyepiece helps surgeon's depth perception during the surgeries. Finally, we successfully processed stimulated penetrating keratoplasty in live rabbits. We believe that these technical achievements are crucial to enhance the usability of the VISOCT system in a real surgical operating condition.

Project description:BackgroudPrevious studies of internal graft-host malappositions have not dealt with the precise ways in which each malapposition affected post-penetrating keratoplasty (post-PK) visual outcomes. In this study, we reviewed our post-PK and post-deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (post-DALK) keratoconic patients and used anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to evaluate the associations between graft-host interface (GHI) characteristics and visual outcomes.MethodsNovel GHI metrics included: mean graft-host touch (GHT), total prevalence of malapposition proportion (Pm), frequency of apposition (F), size of malapposition (Sm), junctional graft thickness (Tg), junctional host thickness (Th) and the absolute value of difference between Tg and Th (|Tg-Th|). We connected the external and internal junction points of GHI (GHT) and drew a straight line through the central point, perpendicular to both sides of the cornea. Tg and Th were the thicknesses at cross-points 1?mm away from the meeting point on the external side of the graft and host, respectively. Linear regression analysis was used to describe associations between GHI metrics and postsurgical visual outcomes [logarithm of minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity (logMAR BCVA), spherical equivalent diopter (SE), diopter of spherical power (DS), diopter of cylindrical power (DC) and keratometric astigmatism (Astig value)].ResultsWe enrolled 22 post-PK and 23 post-DALK keratoconic patients. Compared with the regular-apposition results, GHT was decreased in step and gape patterns, and increased in hill and tag patterns. SE increased averagely by 6.851, 5.428 and 5.164 diopter per 1% increase in: F (step) [??=?6.851; 95% Confidence interval (CI)?=?2.975-10.727; P?=?0.001]; F (graft step) [??=?5.428; 95% CI?=?1.685-9.171; P?=?0.005]; and Pm [??=?5.164; 95%CI?=?0.913-9.146; P?=?0.018], respectively. SE increased averagely by 0.31 diopter per 10-?m increment in |Tg-Th| [??=?0.031; 95% CI?=?0.009-0.054; P?=?0.007]. LogMAR BCVA increased (on average) by 0.01 per 10-?m increment in both GHT [??=?0.001; 95% CI?=?0-0.002; P?=?0.030]. and Tg [??=?0.001; 95% CI?=?0.001-0.002; P?=?0.001]. Astig value increased on average by 0.17 diopter per 10-?m increment in Sm [??=?0.017; 95% CI?=?0-0.033; P?=?0.047].ConclusionThis investigation of GHI characteristics suggests explanations for varied ametropia in keratoconic eyes and has potential significance as a reference for promoting pre-surgical planning and technology for corneal transplantation.

Project description:PurposeTo correlate intraoperative interface fluid dynamics during Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) using intraoperative optical coherence tomography (iOCT) in the Prospective Intraoperative and Perioperative Ophthalmic Imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography (PIONEER) study with postoperative outcomes.DesignProspective consecutive, interventional, comparative case series.ParticipantsOne hundred seventy-eight eyes of 173 patients undergoing DSAEK from the Cole Eye Institute, Cleveland, Ohio.MethodsEyes that underwent DSAEK between October 2011 and March 2014 from the PIONEER intraoperative and perioperative OCT study were included. An automated interface fluid segmentation algorithm evaluated intraoperative dynamics of interface fluid before and after surgical manipulations. iOCT images were also captured at multiple intraoperative time points for 2 different DSAEK techniques, 1 that used an active air infusion system and 1 that did not.Main outcome measuresInterface fluid metrics, graft nonadherence.ResultsiOCT measurements of interface fluid after final surgical manipulations and immediately before leaving the operating room identified that total fluid volume (P = .002), largest fluid volume pocket (P = .002), max fluid area (P = .006), mean fluid thickness (P = .03), and max fluid thickness (P = .01) significantly correlated with graft nonadherence rates within the first postoperative week. After placement and optimization of intraoperative lenticle adherence, iOCT revealed a significant difference between the area, volume, and thickness of maximum fluid pockets between the 2 surgical techniques, but both techniques resulted in significant reduction of interface fluid during the procedure.ConclusionsLarger residual interface fluid volume, area, and thickness at the end of surgery detected with iOCT are associated with early graft nonadherence and can be quantified with an automated algorithm. iOCT imaging can successfully capture technique-dependent differences in fluid dynamics during DSAEK.
