摘要
The health of the corneal endothelium is essential in maintaining the clarity of the transplanted human cornea. Immune-mediated endothelial rejection is a complex series of events, which may culminate in the decompensation of the donor button. It is the commonest instigator of failure in penetrating corneal transplantation.
