: This review aimed to summarize how to detect, diagnose, and manage the early complications that may occur after lamellar keratoplasty procedures. Left untreated, these may cause graft failure.The published literature is to date only limited to single articles reporting early complications after lamellar keratoplasties; therefore, our aim was to gather early complications in one article, which may be helpful especially for trainees/fellows in cornea, clinicians, and emergency care ophthalmologists.Case reports and case series were included in the review not only in cases of complications, such as sclerokeratitis and FMS, on which literature is still limited, but also in cases of management of the most common complications, such as double anterior chamber, as these novel techniques may be adopted and possibly validated in clinical trials.All authors certify that they have no affiliations with or involvement in any organization or entity with any financial interest (such as honoraria; educational grants; participation in speakers’ bureaus; membership, employment, consultancies, stock ownership, or other equity interest; and expert testimony or patent-licensing arrangements), or non-financial interest (such as personal or professional relationships, affiliations, knowledge or beliefs) in the subject matter or materials discussed in this manuscript.This article is a review. Therefore, Ethical approval by IRB was not required.
