PURPOSE: To compare the outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) for pediatric keratoconus.
DESIGN: Retrospective comparative interventional case series.
METHODS: This study included consecutive pediatric keratoconus cases (≤18 years of age) who received PK (n=45) or DALK (n=54) in 2 different time periods. Postoperative best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), refraction, and complications were compared between the study groups.
RESULTS: The mean follow-up was 83.3±46.1 and 63.3±45.6 months in the PK and DALK groups, respectively (P = .10). Postoperatively, BSCVA was 0.20±0.19 logMAR in the PK group and 0.26±0.19 logMAR in the DALK group (P = .11), with a BSCVA of ≥20/40 in 91.1% and 83.3% of eyes, respectively (P = .25). Two groups were comparable regarding postoperative refractive outcomes. Graft epitheliopathy and suture-associated complications were more commonly encountered after DALK, which was attributable to the effect of low-quality grafts on the clinical outcomes of DALK. Ten PK eyes (22.2%) and 9 DALK eyes (16.7%) experienced at least 1 episode of graft rejection within 5 years of corneal transplantation (P = .49). Rejection was reversible in 93.1% and 100% of episodes in the PK and DALK groups, respectively (P = .63). At the postoperative year 5, 95.6% of grafts in the PK group and 98.2% in the DALK group remained clear (P = .45).
CONCLUSION: No significant difference was observed in the outcomes between PK and DALK in pediatric keratoconus. Low-quality donor tissues in DALK increased the incidence of graft epithelial problems and suture-related complications as compared to PK.
