All main incisions were secured with a single 10\u20130 nylon suture at the end of surgery. Data collected were donor age and gender, endothelial cell counts, graft diameter, recipient age and gender, indication for transplant, surgeon grade, re-bubbling rate, air fill in the anterior chamber (AC) at day one and intra- and early postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>187 eyes were included in the study. 99 eyes had DMEK surgery with superior approach, while 88 eyes had temporal approach. The two groups had no differences in donor age and sex, endothelial cell counts, graft diameter, recipient age and sex, indication for transplant, surgeon grade, and air fill in the anterior chamber at day one. Re-bubbling rate was 38.4% for surgeries performed with superior access and 29.5% for those with temporal access(p\u2009=\u20090.186). After exclusion of patients with intraoperative and\/or postoperative complication, the difference in re-bubbling rate was higher, although non-significant (37.5% and 25% for superior and temporal approach respectively, p\u2009=\u20090.098).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n
