  COURSE DESCRIPTION: : The course will be mostly directed to surgical technique details: microkeratome and/or trephine preparation of the donor in both penetrating and anterior and posterior lamellar techniques trephination, and techniques of suturing. Other surgical maneuvers commonly performed during keratoplasty such as cataract surgery, iris reconstruction, IOL extraction or anterior vitrectomy will also be reviewed.
