Zusammenfassung

Der Bedarf an Spenderhornhäuten steigt aufgrund der erweiterten Indikation zur Hornhauttransplantation insbesondere bei den endothelialen Dysfunktionen zunehmend, da für Erkrankungen wie die Fuchs-Endotheldystrophie bisher nur die Transplantation als kurative Therapieoption zur Verfügung steht. Im Folgenden stellen wir anhand eines Fallbeispiels die Descemetektomie – eine umschriebene Entfernung der Descemet-Membran (Descemethorexis) ohne Transplantation – als Therapiealternative vor.

Abstract

Due to rising demand worldwide it is becoming increasingly more difficult to satisfy the needs for human corneal transplants. At this point transplantation is the only possible cure for endothelial diseases, such as Fuchs endothelial dystrophy. In this article we present descemetectomy, a circumscribed removal of Descemet’s membrane (DMx) without subsequent transplantation, as new possible treatment option on the basis of a clinical case.
