No-Touch Technique and a New Donor Adjuster for Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty
PURPOSE One difficulty with Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) is air management during surgery and donor endothelial lamella centering. We evaluated the no-touch technique for donor centering and the use of a newly developed DSAEK donor adjuster. METHODS We evaluated the records of 12 consecutive patients (mean age 75.3 years) with bullous keratopathy who had und...
متن کاملBanking of donor tissues for descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.
PURPOSE The demands for precut lamellar grafts for Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty rose in our eye bank from 74 in 2007 to 408 in 2010. To meet this expanding requirement, we explored the possibility to preserve these preparations in organ culture. METHODS Organ cultured corneas, stored in a medium containing 6% dextran, were mounted on a Moria artificial anterior chambe...
متن کاملDescemet’s stripping and non-Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty for microcornea using 6.0 mm donor grafts
BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is to report our experience of Descemet's stripping and non-Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK/nDSAEK) for microcorneas using 6.0 mm donor grafts. METHODS Three eyes of two patients (a 56-year-old woman and a 59-year-old woman) with microcornea and suffering from bullous keratopathy were treated with either DSAEK or nDSAEK. A sm...
متن کاملDescemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty
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. ...
متن کاملDescemet-stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty—A Review
Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) has become the procedure of choice to treat corneal endothelial dysfunction. The technique involves replacing the diseased host endothelium with a graft consisting of a thin layer of posterior stroma, Descemet membrane, and endothelium. In comparison to penetrating keratoplasty (PK), DSAEK confers quicker visual and structural recove...
