Perforation of the DM is the most common intraoperative complication noted to occur in 10-30% cases of DALK. The two techniques of pre-Descemetic-DALK and Descemetic-DALK are technically challenging and involve a significant learning curve. This video elucidates the various steps at which intraoperative perforation is commonly encountered in while performing DALK and how these can be tackled to prevent conversion and obtain a successful outcome. This video line up of the common intra-operative perforation scenarios will constitute a useful learning guide to corneal fellows in managing the various scenarios of DALK perforations.
