Femto-DSAEK for deep posterior stromal opacity: a lamellar alternative to PK in failed DMEK
Femto-DSAEK offers a streamlined approach for managing failed DMEK with posterior stromal scarring. By enabling precise removal of diseased posterior tissue and immediate endothelial replacement, it may enhance graft adherence, optimize visual rehabilitation, and provide an effective alternative to PK in complex cases.
