Descemet's Stripping And Endothelial Keratoplasty For Pseudophakic Bullous Keratopathy: Simplified Manual Donor Dissection Without An Artificial Anterior Chamber

摘要

Endothelial replacement surgery is an established procedure for aphakic and pseudophakic corneal edema and fuch's endothelial dystrophy. This procedure includes transplantation of posterior stromal lamellar disc in an eye denuded of posterior lamellar disc along with descemet's membrane (Deep Lamellar Endothelial Keratoplasty, DLEK) 1 or of only descemet's membrane (Descemet's Stripping and Endothelial Keratoplasty, DSEK)2. DSEK has been described to have an edge over DLEK in that it is less technically demanding.2 Here, we report a case in which DSEK was done for Pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.
