Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015 Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) allows for selective replacement of damaged endothelial cells, using only donor Descemet's membrane with endothelium. However, early adoption by corneal surgeons has been limited (illustrated by graft registry reports: 0.7% all corneal transplants in the USA; 0.4% in Australia for 2011) due to ...

The aftermath of retained Descemet's membrane: A case report and review of literature
TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research, 2022 This study aimed to report the graft sequelae of retained host Descemet's membrane (DM) following Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP). A 75-year-old male diagnosed with retained host DM with Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT).

Descemet’s Membrane Detachment - An Update
Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022 Descemet’s membrane is basement membrane of corneal endothelial cells, which in turn are responsible for maintaining corneal transparency. Numerous causes can lead to Descemet’s membrane detachment (DMD), with the most common etiology being post-surgical.

Step-by-step Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty surgery
Taiwan Journal of Ophthalmology, 2019 With the success of Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) technique providing better outcomes in visual prognosis and theoretically lower rejection rate than penetrating keratoplasty, DSAEK dominated the realm of endothelial ...

Diagnosis And Management Of Retained Host’s Descemet’s Membrane After Penetrating Keratoplasty
Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015 Retained descemet's membrane is a rare complication of penetrating keratoplasty. It can lead to graft failure by compromising the endothelial tissue of the cornea.

Effect of fibrin glue on the biomechanical properties of human Descemet's membrane. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Corneal transplantation has rapidly evolved from full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty (PK) to selective tissue corneal transplantation, where only the diseased portions of the patient's corneal tissue are replaced with healthy donor tissue.
