Hydroseparation allows for faster, easier and safer DMEK
COPENHAGEN — A new technique allows for faster and safer Descemet’s separation in Descemet’s membrane endothelial keratoplasty, with less risk of endothelial damage, according to one surgeon speaking at the EuCornea meeting.The technique, named hydroseparation, uses balanced salt solution or Ringer’s solution to separate the membrane without touching the endothelial surface and can be performed on both the donor and recipient cornea, Pavel Stodulka, MD, PhD, said.
