"DSEK: What You Need to Know About Endothelial Keratoplasty" is the first text to explore the rapid evolvement of endothelial keratoplasty (EK) procedures. Endothelial keratoplasty is part of a revolution in corneal transplant surgery in which surgeons perform disease specific tissue replacement, as opposed to full thickness replacement of the cornea for all conditions. Today, patients are demanding EK instead of standard transplant methods because the newer methods are safer while the visual recovery is quicker and more predictable."DSEK" provides a comprehensive background of EK, where it is today, and where it is headed in the future. Dr. Francis W. Price, who was the first to complete DSEK in the United States, along with Dr. Marianne Price have designed this text to offer a special emphasis on how to perform surgeries along with preventing and managing complications. In addition, a diverse group of contributing authors provides a wide array of insights and tips for better patient outcomes.This book includes current applications of DSEK and DSAEK; information on how to perform DMEK, the newest iteration of EK, including a step by step technique and post operative management; detailed discussion of air management for EK surgeries; and, new techniques of using glides in the Asian Eye.
