영문 초록

Purpose: To report cases of transplanting a donor’s 2 corneas to 5 patients suffering from several corneal diseases. Case summary: Two corneas were donated from a 66-year-old donor, who suffered from brain damage due to asphyxia, one hour after being pronounced dead by doctors. Two penetrating keratoplasties and 3 partial lamellar keratoplasties were performed for patients with corneal opacity, corneal ulcer and corneal perforation. After the procedure all grafts were stable. Conclusions: Under the present circumstances of decreasing donations of corneas after death and the increasing demand for keratoplasty in Korea, the mutual cooperation among hospitals to treat more than one patient using one donated cornea is a method the authors believe can alleviate this situation.
