This is the second edition of a well-received book - Mastering
Endothelial Keratoplasty: DSAEK, DMEK, E-DMEK, PDEK, Air pump-assisted
PDEK and others, Volume I and II. This edited book covers basics
of thin membrane endothelial keratoplasty which essentially includes
DMEK and PDEK. It covers various surgical techniques currently in use,
including among others, the endoilluminator assisted technique, air
pump assisted technique, host Descemetic scaffolding, etc. It also
includes pre-operative work-up as well as post-operative graft
management, combined surgeries, management of complicated situations,
prevention and handling of complications, role of Descemet’s
stripping, and RHO-assisted kinase (Rock) inhibitors. The book
includes videos showing surgical techniques as practiced by leading
international experts from advanced centers. Endothelial
keratoplasty is a field of great interest to all corneal surgeons and
is replacing penetrating keratoplastyas the procedure of choice in
most indications of endothelial failure, unless associated with
central scarring. Thin membrane endothelial keratoplasties are at an
exciting and evolving stage as newer techniques of DMEK and PDEK have
inherent advantages that make them supersede not only penetrating
keratoplasty but also DSAEK. Hence, in today's scenario it is of great
interest among corneal surgeons who wish to learn and master these
techniques as well as be able to manage complicated situations and
complications. This book is a must-read for the beginner as well
as the established surgeons. It is also a must-have for educational
institutions, hospital- based libraries and for post-graduate
students, fellows and residents who want to expand their knowledge.
