Detachment of Descemet's membrane following stromal hydration in phacoemulsification surgery

Descemet's membrane detachment is mostly seen as a complication at the time of corneal incision. Stromal hydration for wound closure towards the end of phacoemulsification procedure is an unusual stage of surgery for this complication to occur. We report successful apposition of detached Descemet's membrane by using intracameral sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas in such a case.
