Abstract

Pur­po­se: To evaluate the patient satisfaction after penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Ma­te­ri­al and Met­hod: A 15-question survey was given to 100 consecutive patients who had undergone PK in our clinic. Quality of life, expectancy and result satisfaction of the patients were graded. Re­sults: Mean age of the 100 (52 female, 48 male) consequtive patients who participated in the survey was 47.2±21.5 (10-85) years. Mean follow-up time of the patients after PK was 26.1±26.0 months, with a minimum of 12 months. The indications of PK were keratoconus (27%), bullous keratopathy (26%), keratitis sequela (25%), corneal dystrophy (12%), and trauma sequela (10%). Mean preoperative visual acuity was counting fingers from 3 meters (light perception - 0.3), whereas mean postoperative visual acuity was 0.4 (light perception - 1.0) (p0.05). Final visual acuity was the only statistically significant parameter (p=0.01). When patient satisfaction was grouped according to indications, the ranking was as keratitis sequela, corneal dystrophy, trauma sequela, keratoconus, and bullous keratopathy. Dis­cus­si­on: The sole parameter in the means of patient satisfaction after PK was found to be the final visual acuity. For this reason, every patient who will undergo PK should be specifically informed according to indication. Moreover, these patients should also be enlightened about the potential final visual acuity and probable postoperative problems. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 348-52)

Özet

Amaç: Penetran keratoplasti (PKP) uygulanan hastaların ameliyat sonrası memnuniyetlerini değerlendirmek. Ge­reç ve Yön­tem: Kliniğimizde PKP uygulanan 100 ardışık hastaya 15 soruluk bir anket uygulandı. Olguların yaşam kaliteleri, beklentileri ve sonuç memnuniyetleri derecelendirildi. So­nuç­lar: Anketi cevaplayan 100 ardışık hastanın (52 kadın, 48 erkek) yaş ortalamaları 47,2±21,5 (10-85) idi. Hastaların PKdan sonra ortalama takip süresi en az 12 ay olmak üzere 26,1±26,0 ay idi. Hastaların PKP endikasyonları keratokonus (%27), büllöz keratopati (%26), keratit sekeli (%25), korneal distrofi (%12) ve travma sekeli (%10) idi. Ameliyat öncesi görme keskinliği ortalama 3 metreden parmak sayma (Işık hissi - 0,3 arasında) iken ameliyat sonrası görme keskinliği ortalama 0,4 (Işık hissi - 1,0 arasında) idi (p0,05). Sonuç görme keskinliği istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı tek parametre idi (p=0,01). Hastaların memnuniyeti endikasyonlara göre gruplandığında sıralama keratit sekeli, korneal distrofiler, travma, keratokonus ve büllöz keratopati şeklinde idi. Tar­t fl­ma: PKP sonrası hasta memnuniyeti açısından tek anlamlı parametre, sonuç görme keskinliği olarak bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle kornea nakli uygulanacak her hasta, endikasyona özel biçimde bilgilendirilmelidir. Ayrıca, potansiyel sonuç görme keskinliği ve ameliyattan sonra karşılaşılabilecek olası problemler hakkında da aydınlatılmalıdır. (Turk J Ophthalmol 2013; 43: 348-52)
