Donor dislocation after DSAEK for a failed corneal graft
2008
Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) is gradually becoming a preferred technique of corneal transplantation in cases with endothelial dysfunction due to its advantages of early visual rehabilitation, absence of suture-related problems and preserving the cornea’s biomechanical properties.1 2 A recent study by Allan et al has revealed that corneal graft rejection episodes were 50% less frequent after DSAEK than penetrating keratoplasty.3 This procedure has also been used successfully to treat cases of failed graft.4 5 We report a case of donor lenticule dislocation that occurred due to issues related to sizing of the donor lenticule after DSAEK surgery that was performed …
