Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty using cultured corneal endothelial cells in a rabbit model.

29 Sep 2009 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 ... Read more...

Descemet membrane automated endothelial keratoplasty: hybrid technique combining DSAEK stability with DMEK visual results.

29 Sep 2009 We describe an endothelial keratoplasty technique in which Descemet membrane is transplanted with a peripheral ring of corneal stroma. As in Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), a microkeratome resects an anterior corneal ... Read more...

Effect of the shape of the endothelial graft on the refractive results after Descemet's stripping with automated endothelial keratoplasty.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the magnitude and the possible causes of the refractive changes after Descemet's stripping with automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). In this article we describe the changes in corneal power after DSAEK and correlate ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Descemet Membrane'

Definition: A layer of the cornea. It is the basal lamina of the CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM (from which it is secreted) separating it from the CORNEAL STROMA. It is a homogeneous structure composed of fine collagenous filaments, and slowly increases in thickness with age.

Descriptor UI: D003886
