We present an interesting case of failed Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) graft, due to accidental implantation of a full-thickness precut tissue. A repeat DSEK was planned, and during the surgery along with the DSEK graft, an extra thick corneal tissue was also retrieved. Careful evaluation of both the explanted tissues revealed that the primary surgeon failed to separate a precut DSEK graft and implanted the entire full-thickness tissue. After the repeat DSEK, there was improvement in corneal edema and visual acuity.
