Abstract
The article presents the literature review on the history and development of endothelial keratoplasty, which is one of the options for corneal transplantation. It includes different surgical techniques (posterior lamellar keratoplasty, with removal of the a circular section of the Descemet's membrane, deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty, posterior lamellar keratoplasty (automated), etc.) used for the treatment of patients with pathology of the corneal endothelium and is characterized by replacement of it with corneal back layers of the donor graft. Ophthalmic surgical practice has convincingly shown a significant advantage of modern methods of endothelial keratoplasty in comparison with classical penetrating keratoplasty, which is a long-term standard in the treatment of corneal pathology. Key word: endothelial keratoplasty, the pathology of the corneal endothelium, corneal transplantation, posterior lamellar keratoplasty, deep lamellar endothelial keratoplasty.
