A New User-Friendly and Affordable Method in Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty

AIMS: To describe a new technique in Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this technique, we use easily available materials (mainly a Nelaton tube) to make an injector for loading DSAEK lenticule and also easily pulling it (using a gauge 23 needle)...

description AIMS: To describe a new technique in Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this technique, we use easily available materials (mainly a Nelaton tube) to make an injector for loading DSAEK lenticule and also easily pulling it (using a gauge 23 needle) into the eye. In this paper, we report outcomes of this technique in four cases. RESULTS: Using these available instruments could easily lead to a clear postoperative cornea. Mean Endothelial Cell Density (ECD) loss at sixth postoperative month was 26%. CONCLUSION: We proposed a novel effective user-friendly and affordable technique to perform DSAEK.
