| Popis: | AIM: To describe the surgical procedure of fusiform penetrating keratoplasty (FPK) using multiple trephines of different sizes for treating patients with severe infectious keratitis. METHODS: Fourteen eyes underwent FPK, and 15 eyes received conventional penetrating keratoplasty (PK) were included in the study. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), refractive outcomes, endothelial cell density, and postoperative complications were recorded. RESULTS: The FPK group was followed for an average of 15.3±2.1mo, whereas the PK group was followed for 16.1±1.9mo. The corneal ulcers were elliptical-shaped in all 14 eyes in the FPK group. The mean BCVA (logMAR, 0.26±0.13) showed no statistically significant differences from that in the PK group (logMAR, 0.21±0.12, P>0.05) at 1y after surgery. But the mean curvature, mean astigmatism, and mean spherical equivalent in the FPK group were lower than those in the PK group (P |
