| description | Purpose:
The purpose of the study was to study keratoplasty indications and outcomes at a tertiary care center in Western Vidarbha.
Subjects and Methods:
It is a retrospective cross-sectional study in which medical records of all patients undergoing keratoplasty at tertiary care in Western Vidarbha, Maharashtra, India, between October 2021 and October 2023, with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months were reviewed. Data were represented as numbers, percentages, and means.
Study Parameters:
Indications, surgical procedures, and outcomes of all surgeries collected and studied.
Main Outcomes:
Graft survival and visual acuity.
Results:
One hundred cases of keratoplasty were recorded during the study period. Total (33) optical keratoplasties, (41) therapeutic/tectonic keratoplasties, (11) descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK), and (15) deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) were included. Out of those, 15 grafts survived and 79 grafts failed. Regrafting was done in six cases.
Conclusion:
Fifteen percent graft survival, visual acuity improved in 30% of patients of optical KP, 28% of patients of DSEK, and 13% of patients of DALK. The most common indication for keratoplasty was a perforated corneal ulcer. Graft failures are seen in infected and rheumatoid arthritis cases commonly. Postoperative complications occurred in 73% of cases. The outcome was better in optical keratoplasty patients than in therapeutic. |
