Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK)
Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) is a minimally invasive corneal transplant procedure used to treat corneal endothelial disorders such as Fuchs’ dystrophy and corneal edema. Unlike traditional full-thickness corneal transplants, DSEK selectively replaces only the damaged endothelial layer, preserving most of the patient’s natural cornea. This leads to faster recovery, fewer complications, and better visual outcomes.
At Desai Eye Hospital, our expert ophthalmologists perform DSEK using advanced microsurgical techniques, ensuring a smooth and effective restoration of corneal clarity with minimal discomfort.
How Does It Work?
- Used to treat endothelial dysfunction in the cornea.
- Only the damaged Descemet’s membrane and endothelium are removed.
- A thin, healthy donor endothelial layer is implanted.
- The graft is positioned and secured using an air bubble.
- No sutures are needed, leading to quicker healing.
- Visual recovery is faster compared to full-thickness transplants.
- Reduces risk of rejection and improves long-term outcomes.
- Enhances clarity while preserving corneal strength and structure.
