Abstract

CORNEAL TRANSPLANTATION SURGICAL TECHNIQUES HAVE EVOLVED OVER THE PAST 2 DECADES. LAMELLAR PROCEDURES HAVE REPLACED THE TRADITIONAL FULL THICKNESS PENETRATING KERATOPLASTY FOR MOST CLINICAL INDICATIONS. ANTERIOR LAMELLAR SURGICAL TECHNIQUES HELP RETAIN THE HEALTHY HOST ENDOTHELIUM ENSURING LONG TERM SURVIVAL OF THE GRAFT, WHEREAS POSTERIOR LAMELLAR KERATOPLASTY TECHNIQUES HAVE SUPERIOR REFRACTIVE OUTCOMES WITH REDUCED RISK OF GRAFT REJECTION. THIS VIDEO BASED COURSE WILL PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE COMMONLY PERFORMED LAMELLAR CORNEAL SURGERIES INCLUDING SUPERFICIAL ANTERIOR LAMELLAR KERATOPLASTY (SALK), MICROKERATOME ASSISTED ANTERIOR LAMELLAR KERATOPLASTY, DEEP ANTERIOR LAMELLAR KERATOPLASTY (DALK), DESCEMET STRIPPING ENDOTHELIAL KERATOPLASTY (DSEK) AND DESCEMET MEMBRANE ENDOTHELIAL KERATOPLASTY (DMEK). THE ROLE OF FEMTOSECOND LASER AND INTRAOPERATIVE OCT WILL BE DISCUSSED AS WELL. AT THE END OF THIS COURSE THE ATTENDEE WILL HAVE A BROAD KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THESE SURGICAL PROCEDURES.
