Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to outline typical complications after Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and to discuss their prevention and management.

Methods: Our own clinical results and PUBMED literature search were evaluated.

Results: Postoperative flap dislocation, which can be effectively treated by re-bubbling the graft, is the most common and typical complication after DSAEK.

Conclusions: Careful preoperative indication, surgery and postoperative care make DSAEK a safe and effective new therapeutic option for patients with endothelial corneal disease.
