To report our clinical experience and 12-month results of small-incision Descemet-stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK).Prospective study 11 eyes 9 patients who had DSEK. The DSEK technique consisted stripping the Descemet membrane endothelium from recipient cornea. donor button was prepared by manual dissection inserted through a 5-mm incision. Air, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), or perfluoropropane (C3F8) used both at end surgery in subsequent dislocations to promote tissue adherence.Mean...

To report 5 cases of high astigmatism after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) treated with corneal wedge excisions.We our experience patients excisions for PK. A thin sliver cornea measuring between 0.1 and 0.2 mm in thickness was excised from just inside the graft-recipient interface. The length incision centered at axis flatter meridian extended over a range 60-90 degrees. wound closed interrupted 10-0 nylon sutures placed every 15 We also report, first time, both pre- postoperative topography...
