- Summary:
- Endothelial keratoplasty versus penetrating keratoplasty will be discussed to understand why the shift towards endothelial keratoplasty happened. Special emphasis will be given to the history of EK starting at the very beginning, ie., Posterior Lamellar Keratoplasty. The subsequent evolution of EK through DLEK, DSEK, DSAEK, UT-DSAEK and finally to DMEK and PDEK will be discussed together with the various terminologies. Advantages and disadvantages of each will be briefly discussed. The role of Descemetorhexis in helping rapid adoption would be discussed. Finally, special techniques that can help make EK successful and repeatable such as E-PDEK will be discussed. Relevant and important scientific reports will also be highlighted briefly.
