PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes and complications of deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) performed for pediatric keratoconus.
METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled 44 consecutive eyes of 39 keratoconus-affected children (≤ 18 years of age). All patients underwent big-bubble DALK from March 2004 to June 2016. The outcome measures included postoperative best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction, keratometry readings, and complications.
RESULTS: The mean participant age was 16.8 ± 1.4 years, and the mean follow-up period was 68.5 ± 39.9 months. Successful big bubble was achieved in 33 eyes (75.0%), while the surgical technique was predescemetic DALK in 11 (25.0%). The mean BSCVA changed from 1.34 ± 0.49 LogMAR preoperatively to 0.24 ± 0.10 LogMAR postoperatively (P < 0.001). The mean keratometry decreased from 59.54 ± 5.17 D preoperatively to 46.23 ± 2.17 D postoperatively (P < 0.001). The complications encountered during the study period were intraoperative Descemet's membrane perforation (n = 5, 11.4%), the Urrets Zavalia syndrome (n = 1, 2.3%), graft epithelial problems (n = 3, 6.8%), subepithelial graft rejection (n = 5, 11.4%), high intraocular pressure (n = 8, 18.2%), and traumatic wound dehiscence (n = 2, 4.6%). Suture-related complications included premature loosening (n = 13, 29.6%), broken sutures (n = 12, 27.3%), suture-tract vascularization (n = 6, 13.6%), suture-associated abscesses (n = 5, 11.4%), and suture cheese wiring (n = 2, 4.6%). A clear graft was found in 40 eyes (90.9%) at the last follow-up examination.
CONCLUSION: This study showed promising results with big-bubble DALK in keratoconus-affected children. A frequent and close follow-up with dedicated parental involvement is essential for the early recognition and management of postoperative complications.
