Introduction to Selective Endothelial Corneal Transplant 

Endothelial Keratoplasty is a specialized corneal transplant surgery performed to replace only the damaged inner endothelial layer of the cornea. The procedure helps restore corneal clarity while preserving most of the patient’s natural corneal structure. It is commonly used for conditions that affect corneal endothelial cell function and cause vision loss.

Targeted Endothelial Layer Restoration for Enhanced Corneal Function

This procedure is performed under local or regional anesthesia to provide comfort and surgical precision. The eye and surrounding facial area are prepared with antiseptic solutions and covered using sterile Nivda Ophthalmic Drapes to establish a controlled and contamination-free surgical field. A small surgical incision is created, and specialized ophthalmic instruments are used to remove the diseased endothelial layer from the inner surface of the cornea. Donor endothelial tissue is carefully prepared and inserted into the eye using advanced insertion techniques and microsurgical tools. An air or gas bubble is used to support graft attachment and maintain proper positioning during the early healing phase. After confirming graft stability, sterile protective materials are applied to support recovery and minimize infection risk.
