State-of-the-art book provides hands-on guidance on the latest endothelial keratoplasty techniques

A significant number of eye disorders result from deficiencies in the endothelial layer of the cornea. Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) helps spare patients from months of refractive adjustments, lengthy recovery, complications, and poor outcomes associated with full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty. This newer methodology is based on more selective transplantation of cells and is less invasive, resulting in quicker recovery and more efficacious outcomes.

Contributors are world-renowned pioneers who are front and center in implementing innovative, sight-restoring techniques that continue to change the ophthalmic surgery landscape. In the first section, a solid foundation is laid with discussion of anatomy, the history of EK, clinical aspects of endothelial cell dysfunction, and clinico-pathology. Subsequent sections cover surgical procedures, special topics, surgical outcomes, complications, and future trends. Readers will gain invaluable insights from clinical pearls throughout the book, gleaned from hands-on experience by leading experts in the field of ocular surgery.

The book, “Endothelial Keratoplasty: Mastering DSEK, DMEK, and PDEK,” is an authoritative resource that provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on the latest endothelial keratoplasty techniques. Written by Amar Agarwal and Terry Kim, two renowned experts in the field, the book is a must-have for ophthalmologists and surgeons specializing in corneal surgery.

Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) is a newer methodology that aims to spare patients from the lengthy recovery and poor outcomes associated with full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty. It is based on more selective transplantation of cells and is less invasive, resulting in quicker recovery and more successful outcomes. The book covers a wide range of topics related to EK, including anatomy, the history of EK, clinical aspects of endothelial cell dysfunction, and clinico-pathology.

One of the highlights of the book is the emphasis on surgical procedures and techniques. The authors provide detailed step-by-step instructions and tips for performing Descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK), predescemet’s endothelial keratoplasty (PDEK), ultrathin DSEK, Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK), and trocar anterior chamber maintainer. The book is also richly illustrated with high-quality images that further explain the anatomy and techniques involved in EK.

In addition to surgical techniques, the book also covers the management of various conditions such as pseudophakic bullous keratopathy and Fuchs’ dystrophy. There is also a dedicated section on managing complicated cases, including glued IOL, cataract extraction and IOL implantation, glaucoma, failed grafts, and scarred corneas. The authors provide expert advice and insights based on their vast experience, making this book an invaluable resource for both trainees and practicing ophthalmologists.

The book also includes a large compendium of high-quality videos that demonstrate cutting-edge approaches in EK. These videos provide a visual guide for surgeons and enhance the learning experience.

Overall, “Endothelial Keratoplasty: Mastering DSEK, DMEK, and PDEK” is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for ophthalmologists and surgeons interested in the latest endothelial keratoplasty techniques. The book provides a solid foundation in the anatomy and clinical aspects of EK, as well as detailed guidance on surgical procedures and the management of various conditions. With contributions from world-renowned experts, this book is a must-have for anyone involved in corneal surgery.
