Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the treatment results of tectonic patch grafts in peripheric corneal perforations and thinning. Material and Method: The files of patients who underwent tectonic corneal patch grafts between January 2005 and February 2010, with follow-up time of at least 6 months, were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Nine eyes of 7 male and 2 female patients, with a mean age of 55.8±16.3 years (38-82 years), were followed for an average of 13±6.8 months (6 to 24 months). Etiologic evaluation revealed ocular surface disease in six cases, corneal melting and perforation after pterygium surgery in one case, and traumatic corneal ulcer and perforation in one case. The etiological factor that caused peripheral ulcerative keratitis in one of the cases could not be determined. Four patients underwent amniotic membrane transplantation before corneal patch grafts. Preoperatively, five eyes were perforated and four eyes had a risk of perforation. Postoperatively adequate corneal thickness was obtained in all cases. Although preoperativecorrected distant visual acuities were under 0.1 in all cases, 5 patients had corrected distant visual acuity of 0.1 or higher in month six of the postoperative period. Conclusion: It was observed that corneal patch grafting in peripheral corneal ulcers and perforations that do not respond to other treatments is an effective method to provide ocular integrity and stabilize the ocular surface.

Özet

Amaç: Periferik kornea incelme ve perforasyonlarında tektonik amaçlı yapılan kornea yama greftlerinde tedavi sonuçlarını incelemek. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2005- Aralık 2010 yılları arasında periferik kornea ülseri nedeniyle tektonik amaçlı kornea yama grefti yapılan ve ameliyat sonrası en az 6 ay takip edilen hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 55.8 ±16.3 yaş (38-82 yaş) olan 7 kadın, 2 erkek hastanın dokuz gözü ortalama 13±6.8 ay (6-24 ay) takip edildi. Etyolojik incelemede; altı olguda oküler yüzey bozukluğu, birinde pterjium ameliyatına bağlı korneal erime ve perforasyon, birinde travma sekeline bağlı kornea ülserasyonu ve perforasyon mevcuttu. Bir olguda periferik ülseratif keratite neden olan etyolojik faktör tespit edilemedi. Hastalardan 4’üne kornea yama grefti öncesi amniyotik membran transplantasyonu uygulandı. Ameliyattan önce beş gözde perforasyon mevcuttu ve dört göz perforasyon riski taşımaktaydı. Ameliyat sonrasında tüm gözlerde yeterli kornea kalınlığı elde edildi. Hastaların hepsinde ameliyat öncesi düzeltilmiş uzak görme keskinlikleri 0,1’in altında iken 5 hastanın ameliyat sonrası 6. ay düzeltilmiş görme keskinliği 0,1 ve üstüne çıktı. Sonuç: Kornea yama grefti uygulaması diğer tedavi yöntemlerine cevap vermeyen periferik kornea incelme ve perforasyonlarında, glob bütünlüğünü sağlayan ve oküler yüzeyi stabilize eden etkili bir cerrahi yöntem olarak izlendi.
