Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) Using Corneal Donor Tissue Not Acceptable for Use in Penetrating Keratoplasty as a Result of Anterior Stromal Scars, Pterygia, and Previous Corneal Refractive Surgical Procedures
Cornea, 09/24/09

Phillips PM et al. – Postoperative results of DSAEK using donor tissue excluded from use in penetrating keratoplasty as a result of stromal flaws are equivalent to results using standard donor tissue. Central corneal thickness measurements should be performed before cutting to avoid tissue perforation. The use of ASF tissue for DSAEK will expand the cornea donor pool.
