Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK)

Contributors: Jesse Vislisel, MD and Mark A. Greiner, MD

Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) is an endothelial replacement procedure in which dysfunctional corneal endothelium is replaced with a graft consisting of donor endothelium and a thin layer of posterior stroma to facilitate handling of the tissue. This case was performed for severe corneal edema secondary to pseudophakic bullous keratopathy.
