Abstract
Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) can be challenging for any surgeon, especially those just starting the procedure. This chapter discusses the authors’ experiences performing DMEK and provides a literature-based review of surgical techniques that have been implemented with DMEK. Although the techniques necessary to perform DMEK are different than Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty, successful outcomes can be consistently achieved. The chapter outlines a sequential approach to this technique and highlights several vital intraoperative techniques that can make DMEK a reproducible, predictable, and successful procedure.
