摘要
Purpose: To compare the outcome of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) in the surgical management of keratoconus (KC). Patient and methods: A retrospective review was conducted of the medical records of all patients treated with PKP or DALK for KC at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2006. The main outcome measures were visual outcome, graft survival, and complications. Cases with a minimum follow-up of 6 months were included in the statistical analysis. Results: Of 41 eyes that met the inclusion criteria, 30 eyes were treated with PKP and 11 eyes were treated with DALK. The mean follow-up was almost identical for eyes treated with PKP or DALK (21.9 vs. 22.5 months, respectively). At the most recent examination, the mean best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) was 20/28 for the PKP group and 20/29 for the DALK group (P = 0.77). The percentage of eyes that achieved BSCVA of 20/25 or better was higher in the PKP group thaninthe DALK group (77.3 vs. 45.5%, respectively), but this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.72). Endothelial rejection occurred in 4 (13.3%) eyes after PKP. Visually significant interface haze occurredin the early postoperative course in 2 (18.2%) eyes after DALK. No cases of late-onset endothelial failure were found in either group. Conclusion: Treatment of KC with PKP or DALK is associated with similar visual outcomes, graft survival, and prevalence of sight-threatening complications. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
