Purpose: Endothelial keratoplasty is an exciting alternative to full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty for replacing the diseased endothelium, yet 3 of the major complications seen are dislocation of the donor tissue, primary graft failure (PGF), and pupillary block from the residual, supportive air bubble. Surgical strategies were developed to reduce the likelihood of occurrence of these complications in our first 200 consecutive Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) cases.Design: Prospective, noncomparative, interventional case series.Participants: Two hundred eyes of 172 patients with corneal edema.Methods: An institutional review board-approved, prospective protocol of endothelial keratoplasty was initiated. Four different surgeons performed DSAEK for the initial 200 consecutive cases using a technique of peripheral recipient bed scraping for donor edge adherence and leaving a residual supportive air bubble, which was freely mobile, and
