2 PURPOSE To optimize the surgical technique for performing Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Keratoplasty (FLAK) to cut both recipient and donor corneal buttons using the IntraLase FS ® To test the stability and integrity of the incisions closed with different methods

3 METHODS FLAK performed in 6 human globes and 6 corneoscleral buttons for each of the following trephination patterns –Top hat –Mushroom –Tongue-groove –Vertical Manual trephination as control

4 Cross-sectional schematic diagram of laser cuts and measurements in mushroom pattern

5 METHODS Incision closure with –8 sutures –8 sutures with fibrin adhesive –16 sutures Wound integrity measured with intraocular pressure required to produce graft-host wound leakage (IOP L ) and dehiscence

6 RESULTS Mushroom and top hat FLAK had significantly higher IOP L than vertical or manual trephination (p<0.001) for wounds closed with 16 sutures. There was no difference in IOP L between top hat, mushroom, and tongue-groove FLAK in wounds closed with 8 sutures with fibrin adhesive (p>0.75).

7 Mean intraocular pressure leakage (IOP L ) (mm Hg) of keratoplasty procedure comparing suture technique

8 Mean intraocular pressure leakage (IOP L ) (mm Hg) of suture technique comparing keratoplasty procedure

9 CONCLUSION These preliminary studies show that FLAK produces precise trephination cuts of superior wound strength and stability to that of manual trephination. Adjuvant fibrin glue may further improve wound integrity.
