Abstract

The aim of the study is to assess the development of a new surgery method of deep posterior lamellar keratoplasty. Methods and patients, and results are explained. The management of endothelial dysfunction has seen a rapid evolution over the past decade as endothelial keratoplasty has emerged as a viable and perhaps preferred method of treatment. Over the last decades, the technique used in endothelial keratoplasty have improved and evolved with many modifications simplifying and advancing endothelial keratoplasty surgery to be more widely accepted and utilized. The many benefits of this procedure compared to penetrating keratoplasty stem from its preservation of the normal corneal surface. The deep posterior lamellar keratoplasty is a selective, safe surgical method with an excellent clinical outcome.
