A Hobart First
At Hobart Day Surgery we are very proud to have supported eye surgeon Dr Robin Abell in the second ever DMEK rapid procedure performed in Australia. In a step forward in corneal graft surgery technique, this pre-loading system allows the graft material to be pre-loaded at the eye bank, significantly reducing graft handling. This was the first pre-loaded graft to be sent interstate from an eye bank. The procedure is expected to reduce operating time by between 15 and 30 minutes.
