Descemetopexy

Descemetopexy (from Latin descemet - membrane and Greek πεξις - attachment) is a surgical operation aimed at restoring the integrity of Descemet's membrane (membrane) after its rupture or rupture of the sclera, which leads to the development of descemetolysis.

Descemetopexy is performed for keratoconus, bullous keratopathy, dry eye syndrome, and also to prevent the development of complications after corneal surgery.

The essence of the operation is to fix the rupture of Descemet's membrane. For this purpose, special instruments are used, such as vitreolens, vitreosip or vitreostrip.

The operation is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. After the procedure, the patient may experience discomfort and lacrimation, which disappears after a few days.

In general, descemetopexy is an effective method for treating and preventing complications on the cornea, however, before performing the operation, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and evaluate the condition of the patient's eye.
