Diagnosis And Management Of Retained Host’s Descemet’s Membrane After Penetrating Keratoplasty
Delhi Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015 Retained descemet's membrane is a rare complication of penetrating keratoplasty. It can lead to graft failure by compromising the endothelial tissue of the cornea.

Effect of fibrin glue on the biomechanical properties of human Descemet's membrane. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Corneal transplantation has rapidly evolved from full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty (PK) to selective tissue corneal transplantation, where only the diseased portions of the patient's corneal tissue are replaced with healthy donor tissue.
