      <abstract>
        <p>Some of the modifications of posterior lamellar keratoplasty is at the present considered by most of the corneal surgeons as method of choice in case of patient’s corneal endothelium damage. However, this surgical technique undergoes in the last 20 years relatively rapid development. Even in the current time, there exist side by side and are used different types and modifications of this sort of transplantation. Because of this reason, differences among individual methods are sometimes not accurately understood and the terminology may be used not exactly as well. The authors specify all until now described surgical methods, describe differences among single surgical procedures, and point out their advantages and disadvantages. The methods are described in the same order as they were historically introduced into the literature.</p>
