Donor Corneal Disk Insertion Techniques in Descemetorhexis with Endokeratoplasty EDITED BY THOMAS JOHN, MD INTRODUCTION FROM THOMAS JOHN, MD Selective tissue corneal transplantation (STCT) (1–4), a term introduced by Dr. John, is becoming increasingly popular, especially for posterior lamellar keratoplasty (PLK), namely descemetorhexis with endokeratoplasty (DXEK) (1–22). In DXEK, only the patient’s compromised corneal endothelium is removed and replaced with a healthy, donor corneal endothelium along with its Descemet’s membrane and deep corneal stroma with a total donor corneal disk thickness of about 150 lm. The elimination of a full- thickness corneal wound and corneal sutures from the conventional penetrating keratoplasty procedure is a Thomas John, MD huge step forward in the advancement of corneal transplantation with a significant benefit to the patient along with quicker visual recovery and improved quality of postoperative vision as compared to full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty. One of the important steps in this surgical proce- dure is the insertion of the donor corneal disk into the recipient anterior chamber (AC). This consultation section is dedicated to different surgical approaches to corneal disk insertion in DXEK surgery. CONSULTANTS Drs. Jay C. Bradley and David L. McCartney describe their ‘‘suture-drag technique’’ of inserting the donor corneal disk
