Cornea Transplant / Keratoplasty In Patiala​

Cornea transplant, also known as keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or diseased cornea with a healthy one from a donor. It is usually performed to improve vision or to relieve pain and other symptoms caused by conditions such as advanced keratoconus, corneal ulcers, or chemical burns. 

Corneal transplants are generally safe and successful procedures with a high success rate. However, like all surgeries, there are some risks involved. These include infection, bleeding, and rejection of the transplanted tissue. 

If you are considering a cornea transplant in Patiala, it is important to consult with an experienced ophthalmologist to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure.

Types of Corneal Transplant Surgeries

There are a variety of types of corneal transplant surgeries that can be used to restore vision in people with advanced eye disease. The most common type is penetrating keratoplasty, also known as PK. This surgery removes the damaged portion of the cornea and replaces it with an artificial replacement.

Descemet’s Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSEK) and Descemet’s Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) are two other popular types of surgery. DSEK involves removing the damaged endothelium and replacing it with an artificial layer. DMEK involves replacing the entire endothelial layer.

Another type of surgery is deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). This surgery uses a series of small cuts to remove the damaged surface layers of the cornea. Finally, superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty (SALK) is a less-invasive option that uses just a few tiny cuts to remove superficial surface layers of the cornea.

Artificial Cornea Transplant (Keratoprosthesis) is a newer type of surgical procedure that uses implantable devices to replace or restore the function of defective or diseased corneas. While this surgery is still being developed, it has the potential to become one of the most popular types of corneal transplant surgeries in future years.
