Corneal transplantation is a widely practised surgical procedure.
Lamellar techniques are favoured replacing penetrating keratoplasty
(PK). Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) has been adapted as an
alternative in the treatment of corneal endothelial disorders
whereby Descemet's membrane and the endothelium are replaced.
Pre-Descemet's endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK) is the latest
surgical technique for corneal transplantation. This book is a step
by step guide to PDEK for practising ophthalmologists. Divided into
five sections, the text begins with the basics explaining corneal
anatomy, pre-operative assessment, general techniques in
keratoplasty, and the principles of PDEK. The following chapters
discuss surgical techniques, special situations, and complications
and results. The text covers numerous clinical scenarios and
concludes with a section on miscellaneous topics such as OCT guided
PDEK, eye bank preparation, and cosmetic iris implant
complications. The text is further enhanced by surgical photographs
and includes an interactive DVD ROM demonstrating PDEK techniques.
