Technique for Preparing Ultrathin and Nanothin Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty Tissue

Conclusions: We propose the term “NT-DSAEK” for grafts ≤50 μm. The described nomogram allows for standardized creation of NT grafts with a low tissue loss rate. This technique is safe and does not result in significant ECC loss compared with UT-DSAEK and DMEK grafts. Further studies are necessary to corroborate the postsurgical results of NT grafts.
