Standardized pachymetry-assisted manual lamellar dissection for Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty.

CONCLUSION: By using ultrasonic pachymetry intra-operatively and standardizing graft preparation, most manually dissected endothelial lamellae were ultrathin. Pachy-DSEK was safe and effective for treating endothelial disfunction in eyes with ocular comorbidities. It may be a cost-effective alternative to automated dissection methods.
