We describe a modified surgical technique for performing the triple procedure that combines deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty with manual small-incision cataract surgery. This technique offers advantages in terms of undergoing a single surgery as compared to the staged procedure, preservation of the host Descemet’s membrane and endothelium, and ability to perform cataract surgery in a closed-chamber setting.
