Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) is a partial-thickness corneal transplant which involves only the donor stroma, leaving the recipient's own Descemet membrane and endothelium. The procedure offers advantages over penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), including a closed-system operation and a decreased risk of postoperative immune rejection.
Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) techniques can be divided into two main categories. In pre-Descemet membrane procedures, some stromal layers remain adherent to DM. Descemet membrane procedures involve complete stromal dissection and baring of DM. In all the techniques a partial-thickness trephination of the cornea is performed depending on pachymetry.
