Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are a variety of corneal transplant surgeries available, each with its own benefits and disadvantages. Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK), Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK/ DSAEK), Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK), Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK), Superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) are the most common types of corneal transplants.

  • PK is a surgery that removes the damaged cornea and replaces it with an artificial lens. 
  • DSEK is a surgery that uses a special device to remove the damaged cornea and replace it with an artificial lens. 
  • DMEK is a surgery that uses a special device to remove the damaged cornea and replace it with an artificial lens using less than half of the amount of removal as DSEK. 
  • DALK is a surgery that removes the central part of the damaged cornea and replaces it with an artificial lens. 
  • SALK is a surgery that uses a special device to remove the central part of the damaged cornea and replace it with an artificial lens using less than half of the amount of removal as DALK.

All three types of surgeries have their own benefits and disadvantages. PK has fewer risks than either DSEK or DMEK, but they both have slightly more risks than DALK. SALK has the fewest risks of all four types of surgeries. The decision of which type of surgery to have depends on the severity of the damage to the cornea, the preference of the patient, and the surgeon’s experience and expertise.
