DSEK corneal transplant problems (Video)

Last updated August 31, 2007

length: 47 seconds
This eye has undergone DSEAK (Descemet’s Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty) also called DSEK. As you can see here, the endothelial transplant has separated from the inner cornea. This was reopposed with sf6 gas in the anterior chamber.

DSEK has many advantages over traditional PK and is a wonderful alternative procedure for certain conditions.
