Objective: To compare deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) with penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in eyes with corneal diseases not involving the corneal endothelium (keratoconus, scars after infectious keratitis, stromal dystrophies, and trauma).Design: Retrospective, comparative case series.Participants: One hundred forty-two consecutive DALK (DALK group; big-bubble technique or manual lamellar dissection using a slitlamp) and 142 matched PK (PK group).Methods: Three models were used to describe the postoperative outcomes of the endothelial cell density. A joint regression model was used to predict long-term graft survival. Visual acuity, ultrasound pachymetry, specular microscopy, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings were recorded.Main Outcome Measures: Postoperative endothelial cell loss and long-term predicted graft survival.Results: The average 5-year postoperative endothelial cell loss was -22.3% in the DALK group and -50.1% in the PK group (P
