Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) is a specialized surgical procedure primarily aimed at treating endothelial dysfunction caused by conditions such as Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy or corneal edema. This minimally invasive technique focuses on the selective transplantation of the Descemet membrane along with a thin layer of endothelial cells, which are crucial for maintaining corneal clarity and vision. During the procedure, the ophthalmic surgeon first removes the damaged or diseased endothelial layer and Descemet membrane from the patient's cornea. Subsequently, a donor cornea, with an intact Descemet membrane and endothelium, is prepared and inserted into the eye. This donor tissue is folded and injected into the anterior chamber of the eye through a small incision, where it naturally unfolds and adheres to the posterior surface of the cornea. One of the key advantages of DMEK over traditional penetrating keratoplasty is that it requires a much smaller incision, resulting in faster recovery times and reduced risk of complications such as graft rejection or astigmatism. Moreover, because only the damaged cells are replaced while the rest of the corneal structure remains intact, DMEK preserves the eye's natural architecture, contributing to improved outcomes and patient satisfaction. Postoperatively, patients typically experience rapid visual rehabilitation, with many achieving significant vision improvement within days of the surgery. However, like all surgical procedures, DMEK carries potential risks, including the possibility of graft detachment or complications related to the anesthesia used. Patients receiving DMEK must adhere to a regimen of topical corticosteroids and antibiotics to promote healing and mitigate the risk of rejection. It is noteworthy that DMEK has emerged as the preferred surgical option for patients with endothelial diseases due to its enhanced safety profile and effectiveness. In addition, the procedure is generally well-tolerated, and the rate of graft survival is notably high, making it a favorable choice for those suffering from corneal endothelial problems. As advancements continue to be made in both techniques and donor tissue preparation methods, the future of DMEK looks promising, potentially offering improved success rates and even broader applications in treating a wider range of corneal conditions. By focusing on the targeted replacement of corneal endothelial cells, DMEK not only addresses the primary pathology efficiently but also minimizes the trauma associated with more extensive corneal surgeries. Overall, DMEK represents a significant advancement in corneal transplantation surgery, affording patients the opportunity for restored vision and improved quality of life through a less invasive approach.
