IMPORTANCE: Studies evaluating combined penetrating keratoplasty and pars plana vitrectomy for infectious aetiologies are limited.
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the outcomes of combined penetrating keratoplasty and pars plana vitrectomy in patients with endophthalmitis and poor corneal clarity.
DESIGN: Retrospective interventional case series conducted at a tertiary care eye hospital in North India.
PARTICIPANTS: Review of records of 43 eyes of 43 patients. Mean age of patients was 53.39 ± 12.94 years (26 males). Patients with age > 14 years with minimum follow-up of 6 months were included.
METHODS: Combined penetrating keratoplasty and pars plana vitrectomy was performed in all eyes.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We analysed the preoperative, intraoperative and microbiological characteristics of patients undergoing combined surgeries. Anatomic and functional success and failure were pre-defined.
RESULTS: Aetiology for corneal opacification was corneal ulcer in 30(69.7%) eyes, corneal graft infection in eight(18.6%) eyes, bullous keratopathy in four (9.3%) eyes and corneal scar in one eye. Postoperative visual acuity improved in 20(46.5%) eyes, did not change in 14 (32.5%) eyes and deteriorated in nine eyes (20.9%). Anatomical failure (uncontrolled infection leading to phthisis bulbi or evisceration) was seen in 15 (34.8%) eyes. Microbiological analysis revealed bacterial growth in 26, fungal in 14 and no growth in three eyes. Fungal infection had a poorer outcome (P = 0.03). Six out of 11 monoocular patients regained ambulatory vision.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Combined penetrating keratoplasty and pars plana vitrectomy is a complex but globe salvaging procedure for poor prognosis eyes which otherwise may need evisceration. Fungal infection carries a poorer prognosis.
