OBJECTIVE: To characterize possible differences in endothelial cell changes after @entity231 surgery in @entity1 with @entity9998 ( @entity9998 ). METHODS: In this prospective, age-matched, controlled clinical study, 25 consecutive @entity1 with @entity9998 and 25 control @entity1 with senile @entity231 only were studied. All @entity1 were treated with standardized @entity231 surgery. Sequential quantitative and qualitative morphometric endothelial cell analyses of the central and paracentral @entity267 were performed preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 day, 4 weeks, and 6 months using noncontact specular microscopy. RESULTS: Preoperative endothelial cell counts were 9.9% (P<.05) lower in @entity1 with @entity9998 (2387+/-266 cells/mm2) than in controls (2648+/-349 cells/mm2). The mean endothelial cell loss was 11.1% in the @entity9998 group and 10.3% (P<.001 for both) in the control group, with no intergroup differences after 6 months. The mean endothelial cell area increased in both groups. Also, qualitative analysis revealed no significant differences in the endothelial repair mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS: Endothelial cell density is reduced preoperatively in @entity1 with @entity9998 compared with age-matched controls. In @entity1 with @entity9998 , @entity231 surgery induced similar endothelial cell changes without increased endothelial cell loss postoperatively.
