Tectonic Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty for corneal perforation

Abstract

We report the use of Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) for the treatment of sterile corneal perforation after trauma. In an eye with corneal perforation and cataract due to trauma, cataract surgery and DSAEK were performed. Corneal integrity was promptly restored and the patient avoided tectonic anterior lamellar and penetrating keratoplasty. DSAEK may be performed for the management of corneal perforation.
