To study the indications of penetrating keratoplasty in Southern India.
Retrospective study.
Retrospective evaluation of eye bank records from December, 2002 to December, 2012 with respect to indications for penetrating keratoplasty.
During the period considered for study, 102 penetrating keratoplasties were performed. The leading indications for penetrating keratoplasty were corneal scarring (60.7%), followed by regrafting (12.7%), spheroidal degeneration (9.8%), aphakic bullous keratopathy (5.88%), pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (2.94%), acute infectious keratitis (2.94%), corneal dystrophy and keratoconus (4.9%). Healed infectious keratitis (72.88%) was the most common subcategory among the eyes with corneal scarring followed by traumatic corneal scars (16.12%).
Corneal scarring from healed infectious keratitis are the most common indication for keratoplasty in Southern India.
研究印度南部穿透性角膜移植术的适应证。
回顾性研究。
对2002年12月至2012年12月眼库记录中穿透性角膜移植术的适应证进行回顾性评估。
在本研究期间,共进行了102例穿透性角膜移植术。穿透性角膜移植术的主要适应证为角膜瘢痕(60.7%),其次是再次移植(12.7%)、球形变性(9.8%)、无晶状体大泡性角膜病变(5.88%)、人工晶状体大泡性角膜病变(2.94%)、急性感染性角膜炎(2.94%)、角膜营养不良和圆锥角膜(4.9%)。在角膜瘢痕眼中,愈合的感染性角膜炎(72.88%)是最常见的亚类,其次是外伤性角膜瘢痕(16.12%)。
愈合的感染性角膜炎导致的角膜瘢痕是印度南部角膜移植术最常见的适应证。
