Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Transplantation Surgery

Background:

  • The corneal endothelium's role in maintaining corneal clarity is critical.
  • Endothelial dysfunction leads to corneal edema and vision loss.
  • Historically, full-thickness corneal grafts were the standard treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical development of selective corneal endothelium transplantation.
  • To discuss surgical techniques for endothelial lamellar keratoplasty (ELK).

Main Methods:

  • Historical literature review of endothelial keratoplasty.
  • Description of surgical steps for ELK procedures.

Main Results:

  • The evolution from penetrating keratoplasty to lamellar techniques.
  • ELK offers potential advantages over traditional corneal transplants.

Conclusions:

  • Selective endothelial transplantation has a long conceptual history.
  • Endothelial lamellar keratoplasty represents a significant advancement in treating endothelial disorders.
