Incidence and Outcomes of Intraoperative Descemet Membrane Perforations During Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:To report the incidence and outcomes of intraoperative Descemet membrane (DM) perforations during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). DESIGN:Retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series. METHODS:A retrospective audit of all DALK cases performed from 2004 to 2015 in a tertiary center, with and without intraoperative DM perforations. We excluded cases with preexisting corneal perforations before surgery. RESULTS:There were a total of 540 eyes, of which 101 (18.7%) had intraoperative DM perforations. These included 79 eyes (78.2%) with microperforations and 15 eyes (14.9%) with macroperforation. The most common steps at which DM perforation occurred intraoperatively were during deep lamellar dissection (32 cases; 31.7%), air injection (27 cases; 26.7%), and suturing (21 cases; 20.8%). Management of the DM perforations included a combination of intracameral air tamponade (49 cases; 48.5%), stromal patching (10 cases; 9.9%), fibrin glue (8 cases; 7.9%), and suturing of the defect (1 case; 1.1%). There were 2 eyes (2/540; 0.37%) that were converted to penetrating keratoplasty (PK). There were no significant differences in the postoperative unaided or best-corrected visual acuity, or in the numbers of patients with postoperative graft failure, graft rejection, or subsequent surgery at postoperative years 1 and 3. CONCLUSIONS:DALK cases with DM perforations intraoperatively are often able to be managed without conversion to PK. Cases with DM perforations intraoperatively have equivalent visual acuity outcomes compared to those without DM perforations, and did not have any increased risk of graft failure, rejection, or subsequent surgery at postoperative years 1 and 3.
