Reattachment of fully detached DMEK graft is technically possible, but graft manipulation during the primary and secondary operations is likely to damage the endothelial cells, resulting in primary or early graft failure. If graft salvage is attempted, the probability of primary or early graft failure should be discussed with the patient, and expectations should be tempered accordingly.
