Summary

Automatic Translation

Automatic Translation

Endothelial keratoplasty is a surgical technique continuously evolving as advancements result in transplantation of thinner grafts with each succession1. Here we present a technique for controlled manual tissue dissection to allow safe and repeatable separation of endothelium and Descemet's membranes from donor corneoscleral buttons for transplantation2.
