Posterior Lamellar Corneal Graft (DSAEK) in an Aphakic and Congenital Aniridic Single Eye: A Case Report Presenting a New Surgical Procedure.

Trends in types of corneal grafts have hugely changed during the last 10 years [1] and primary or secondary corneal endothelial decompensation is the main cause of posterior lamellar grafts. DMEK (Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty) surgery became more popular because clinical data shows many advantages: better UCVA (Uncorrected Visual Acuity) or CVA (Corrected Visual Acuity), an acceptable amount of endothelial cells lost, lower allograft rejection rate compared to Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and PK (Penetrating Keratoplasty) [2], and a better survival rate after 5 years (97.5%) compared to DSAEK (76.45%) and PK (54.6%) [3].
