Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty

چکیده
Endothelial keratoplasty is at present the gold standard for surgical treatment of corneal endothelial pathologies not associated with significant corneal scar. Tremendous progress has been made in recent years in improving the technology of endothelial keratoplasty techniques, such as descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty. In this review, we discuss the current techniques and outcomes of DSAEK.

متن کاملDeterminants of visual quality after endothelial keratoplasty.
Endothelial keratoplasty is now favored over full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty for corneal decompensation secondary to endothelial dysfunction. Although endothelial keratoplasty has evolved as surgeons strive to improve outcomes, fewer patients than expected achieve best corrected visual acuity of 20/20 despite healthy grafts and no ocular comorbidities. Reasons for this remain unclear, w...
متن کاملCombined Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty and phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lens implantation for treatment of failed penetrating keratoplasty with high regular astigmatism.
We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who had combined Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and phacoemulsification with implantation of a toric intraocular lens (IOL). Surgery was intended to treat a cataract developing in a post-penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) eye with high astigmatism and endothelial decompensation. Six months after uneventful surgery, the cornea...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the feasibility of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) using cultured human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) in an animal model. METHODS Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty grafts were produced by seeding cultured HCEC suspensions onto human corneal stromal discs. Three insertion techniques were assessed in an ex vivo model...

mated Bowman layer preparation with a 90to 100-mm-thick donor lamella of anterior stroma (instead of an 8to 12-mm-thick isolated Bowman layer graft). In our experience, the presence of donor stroma seems to degrade the optical quality of the transplanted cornea (as Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty/Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty grafts containing donor stroma ma...
