New surgical maneuver to position the graft in a descemet stripping with automated endothelial keratoplasty surgery

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe a new surgical maneuver to position the graft in a Descemet Stripping with Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) surgery. Methods: Case series. Results: This technique allows a correct repositioning of the graft in a minimally invasive way. Conclusion: This new su...

Use of viscoelastic substance for preventing Descemet's membrane rupture in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 84 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of using a viscoelastic substance in Descemet's membrane rupture in "double bubble" deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty. Methods: The medical records and videos of surgeries of 40 patients who underwent surgery between January 2014 and July 2...

Trigeminal neuralgia after corneal transplantation - a case report

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 80 (4), 2021
ABSTRACT Description of a patient with Fuchs endothelial dystrophy submitted to a corneal transplant, performed by Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty, which evolved with sudden, paroxysmal pain in the frontotemporal region, postoperatively. Due to the ophthalmologic picture of the patient, the at...

A theoretical model for graft punch size calculations to prevent Descemets membrane folds following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (5), 2020
ABSTRACT Purpose: The length of Descemet's membrane and donor graft sizes in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty do not match in very steep corneas, which can lead to Descemet's membrane folds. The aim of this study is to establish a theoretical model for graft size calculations for deep anterior lamell...

Descemets membrane endothelial keratoplasty for acute corneal hydrops: a case report

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 83 (5), 2020
ABSTRACT Here, we describe the result of a Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty for acute corneal hydrops in a 45-year-old female with keratoconus, who presented with severe visual loss in her OS. The patient's best-corrected visual acuity was 20/80 in the right eye and hand motion in the OS. Sli...

Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty with a simplified technique and low complication rate: the samba technique

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Purpose: We report a simplified Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) technique that involves safe and effective preparation and introduction, correct orientation, and easy unfolding of the donor graft inside the recipient anterior chamber. Methods: In this retrospective study, w...

Persistence of granular corneal dystrophy type-1 deposits in the predescemetic layer after big-bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT We report intraoperative finding of Granular Corneal Dystrophy Type-1 (GCD1) deposits after stromal pneumodissection in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in a 61-year-old female. Pneumodissection was performed from the center to the periphery of the cornea, characterizing a big bubble t...

Bilateral descemet membrane detachment in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 76 (4), 2017
Abstract We report an unusual case of a 65-year old patient that developed localized bilateral Descemet membrane detachment during non-simultaneous femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). The detachment occurred when the laser was performing the secondary incision. In the operating room, the...

Visual outcomes after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty using donor corneas without removal of Descemet membrane and endothelium

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose: The optical quality of the interface after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) using the big-bubble technique has been shown to be excellent, leading to results comparable to penetrating keratoplasty. However, there is little in the literature with respect to the controversy sur...

Comparison of 20% sulfur hexafluoride with air for intraocular tamponade in Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK)

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 79 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare the effect of 20% sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) with that of air on graft detachment rates for intraocular tamponade in Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Methods: Forty-two eyes of patients who underwent DMEK by a single surgeon (A.S.J.) at Wilmer Eye Institute...
