Abstract

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.

一种用户友好且经济实惠的角膜剥离内皮移植术新方法。

目的:介绍一种新的内皮角膜移植术(DSAEK)。材料和方法:在这项技术中，我们使用容易获得的材料(主要是一根Nelaton管)制作注射器，用于装载DSAEK透镜，也很容易将其(使用23号针)拉入眼睛。在本文中，我们报告了四例该技术的结果。结果:使用这些仪器可使术后角膜清晰。术后6个月平均内皮细胞密度(ECD)损失为26%。结论:我们提出了一种新颖、有效、方便、经济的DSAEK技术。
