Abstract	Endothelial keratoplasty has been adopted as an alternative to penetrating keratoplasty in the treatment of corneal endothelial disorders. However, references identifying at what time of posterior lamellar transplant surgery occurs greater damage to the endothelial cells of the donor button were not found, when consulting the literature. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the effects of two stages of posterior lamellar keratoplasty on the corneal endothelium of swine using scanning electron microscopy. A total of 30 eyes were evaluated in this study. The eyes were divided in two groups of ten each eye: G1 (evaluated after delamination and preparation of the donor button) and G2 (evaluated after delamination and preparation and insertion of the donor button using Busin glide). Cell loss occurred and varied according to the study group. The average endothelial cell loss was 8.41% in G1 and 17.31% in G2. The differences were statistically significant between the groups studied. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated damage in either group. The average endothelial cell loss was 8.41% in G1 and 17.31% in G2. The differences were statistically significant between the groups studied. It was concluded in the present study and also in the experimental conditions that the insertion of the donor button has induced greater damage to the corneal endothelium of swine compared to its creation.
