Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty performed for therapeutic and tectonic purposes in eyes with perforated infectious corneal ulcer. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 43 eyes of 43 patients who developed perforated infectious corneal ulcer of various etiological causes between June 2008 and January 2018. The patients were evaluated based on age and sex, follow-up time, presence of corneal perforation, pre- and postoperative visual acuity, postoperative graft transparency, complications, and infection recurrence. Results: The mean age of the 43 patients was 52.9±13.8 years. The mean follow-up time was 2.7±1.3 years. Preoperatively, the visual acuity of the eyes was at the level of hand motions or counting fingers; postoperative best corrected visual acuity ranged from hand motions to 0.7. Postoperative complications included hyphema in 8 patients (18.6%), elevated intraocular pressure in 14 (32.5%), posterior synechiae in 18 (41.8%), and cataract in 22 patients (51%). Therapeutic and tectonic success was achieved in 42 patients (97.6%). Postoperative graft transparency was observed in 35 patients (83.3%) within the 1-year follow-up period and in 27 patients (71.0%) at 2 years. Among 27 patients with graft transparency, 23 had bacterial and 4 had viral etiologies (p=0.52); 16 patients had perforations smaller than 1 mm and 11 had perforations 1-3 mm in size (p=0.2). Conclusion: Therapeutic-tectonic keratoplasty for perforated infectious corneal ulcer successfully restored globe integrity in 97.6% of cases. The rate of graft transparency was 71.0% at 2 years, with no effect of etiological agent or perforation size.

Özet

Amaç: Perfore enfeksiyöz korneal ülserli gözlerde terapötik-tektonik amaçlı uyguladığımız penetran keratoplasti (PK) sonuçlarımızıdeğerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Retrospektif bir çalışma olup Haziran 2008 - Ocak 2018 tarihleri arasında, çeşitli etiyolojik nedenlere bağlıenfeksiyöz perfore kornea ülseri gelişen 43 hastanın 43 gözü çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, takip süresi, korneal perforasyonvarlığı, preoperatif görme keskinliği, postoperatif görme keskinliği ve postoperatif dönemde greft saydamlığı, komplikasyonlar,enfeksiyon rekürrensi varlığı değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Çalışmamıza 43 hastanın 43 gözü dahil edilmiştir. Ortalama yaş 52,9±13,8’di. Ortalama takip süresi 2,7±1,3 yıl (en az 7 ay,en fazla 7 yıl). Hastaların preoperatif görme keskinliği el hareketi ve parmak sayma düzeyinde olup postoperatif düzeltilmiş en iyi görmekeskinliği el hareketi ve 0,7 arasında değişmekteydi. Postoperatif dönemde 8 (%18,6) olguda ön kamarada hifema, 14 (%32,5) olgudagöz tansiyonunda yükselme, 18 (%41,8) olguda sineşi posterior, 22 (%51) olguda katarakt gelişmiştir. 42 (%97,6) hastada terapötik vetektonik başarıya ulaşıldı. Postoperatif greft saydamlığı bir yıllık takip süresinde 35 (%83,3), 2. yıl 27 (%71,0) olguda saptanmıştır.İkinci yıl sonunda grefti saydam olan 27 olgunun 23’ü bakteriyel 4’ü ise viral etiyolojiye sahip iken (p=0,52), aynı 27 olgunun 16’sınınperforasyon çapının 1 mm’den küçük 11’inin ise 1-3 mm arası olduğu saptanmıştır (p=0,2).Sonuç: Perfore kornea apsesi nedeniyle uygulanan terapötik tektonik penetran keratoplasti ile %97,6 oranında glob bütünlüğününsağlanmasında ve enfeksiyona neden olan ajan yükünün azaltılması ve uzaklaştırılmasında başarı sağlanmış olup 2 yıl sonunda ulaşılan%71’lik greft saydamlık oranına perforasyon çapının ve etiyolojik ajanın etkisinin olmayabileceği saptanmıştır.
