Reporting our anatomical and functional results and the possible complications of the first six Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) performed in our department secondary to endothelial decompensation after penetrating keratoplasty.
A retrospective and observational monocentric study fo six patients with DSAEK after prior penetrating keratoplasty (PK). The data collected are: demographic characteristics, ophthalmological comorbidities, initial indication of PK, delay between PK and DSAEK. Preoperative Visual Acuity and at 1, 3 and 6 months postoperative were collected in logmar for analysis. The central cornea and graft thickness measured in OCT as well as the postoperative complications were also collected.
