Purpose: To report the outcomes of a new technique, pull-through sutureless 'mini-DSAEK', to manage corneal perforations secondary to different aetiologies including trauma, neurotrophic ulcer following penetrating keratoplasty (PK), herpes simplex keratitis and microbial keratitis.

Methods: In this retrospective case series, we report the clinical outcomes of five cases of sutureless tectonic mini-DSAEK performed in patients presenting with large corneal perforations to Southend University Hospital between November 2019 and October 2020. One corneal perforation was sufficiently peripheral for the tectonic mini-DSAEK graft to be successfully positioned outside of the central visual axis.
