We reviewed the medical records of all DMEK surgeries performed at Rabin Medical Center (Petach Tikva, Israel) between January 2016 and December 2018 in which 10% C<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>F<jats:sub>8<\/jats:sub> tamponade was used for graft reattachments.

Indications for DMEK were pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (n = 3), failed penetrating graft (n = 1), and Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (n = 1). In 4 of 5 cases, SF<jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub> tamponade was used at the end of the initial DMEK surgery. In 1 case, air tamponade was used. In all cases, partial graft detachment was seen 1 to 2 weeks postoperatively, and anterior chamber rebubbling was performed using 20% SF<jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub> gas. A second C<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>F<jats:sub>8<\/jats:sub>-assisted rebubbling was performed 10 to 70 days after the primary DMEK surgery. In all cases, complete graft attachment was achieved, and the corneas cleared. Early endothelial cell loss rates averaged at 44% \u00b1 26% (range 20%\u201374%). One case which had a previous trabeculectomy with chronic preoperative and postoperative hypotony had failed 6 months after surgery. All the other grafts were clear at last visit.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Tamponade using
