[Complications after posterior lamellar keratoplasty (DSAEK): prevention, detection and treatment].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to outline typical complications after Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and to discuss their prevention and management.


METHODS
Our own clinical results and PUBMED literature search were evaluated.


RESULTS
Postoperative flap dislocation, which can be effectively treated by re-bubbling the graft, is the most common and typical complication after DSAEK.


CONCLUSIONS
Careful preoperative indication, surgery and postoperative care make DSAEK a safe and effective new therapeutic option for patients with endothelial corneal disease.
