Combined use of a femtosecond laser and a microkeratome in obtaining thin grafts for Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty: an eye bank study.
PURPOSE To evaluate the use of a femtosecond laser combined with a microkeratome in the preparation of posterior corneal disks for Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). METHODS This experimental study involved ultrathin DSAEK tissue preparation of 22 donor corneas unsuitable for transplantation. The first cut was performed with an Intralase® FS60 laser and the second ...

PURPOSE To evaluate femtosecond laser in DSAEK surgery as an improvement to manual DSAEK. SETTINGS Department of Ophthalmology, Cairo University. DESIGN A retrospective observational clinical study. METHODS 20 eyes with SBK and Fuchs' dystrophy underwent a Femto-assisted DSAEK by laser cutting of two matching posterior stromal discs in the recipient and donor corneas and then fitting the ...
متن کاملFemtosecond Laser Refractive Surgery after Descemet Stripping-Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty
Purpose. To report the use of femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the treatment of hyperopia subsequent to Descemet stripping-automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). Methods. Interventional case report. Results. A 66-year-old woman with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy developed bullous keratopathy after cataract surgery in her right eye. She underwent DSAEK with a signi...
متن کاملMicrokeratome-assisted preparation of ultrathin grafts for descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.
PURPOSE To compare three microkeratome-assisted techniques for the preparation of ultrathin (UT) grafts for Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty. METHODS After dissection with a 300-μm microkeratome head in 40 donor tissues, a second cut was performed with a 130-μm head either after manual stromal hydration (group A, n = 10) or osmotic hydration at the eye bank (group B, n = ...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser and microkeratome-assisted Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty: first clinical results.
AIM To perform Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) using a novel technique to obtain very thin (<100 µm) posterior corneal disks. METHODS Twenty five DSAEK grafts were prepared with two sequential cuts: the first cut, of variable thickness, was made with a femtosecond laser and the second with a 300 µm microkeratome head. Spectacle corrected visual acuity, endothelia...
