dc.description.abstractPurposeThe aim of this study is to present the results of patients who underwent emergency keratoplasty for tectonic or therapeutic reasons.MethodsMedical records of 33 patients who underwent tectonic or therapeutic keratoplasty at Ege University Department of Ophthalmology between January 2019 and January 2024 were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic characteristics, ocular and systemic findings, indications of keratoplasty, size of grafts, need for re-keratoplasty, preoperative treatment modalities, need for additional surgical interventions, and prognosis of the patients were investigated.ResultsDuring this period, 450 penetrating keratoplasty (PK) surgeries were performed and 34 (7.55%) were emergency PK (34 eyes of 33 patients). The mean age of the patients was 65.30 +/- 15.40 (40-91). Female to male ratio was 18/15. 17 (50.00%) emergency PKs were performed for tectonic and 17 (50.00%) were performed for therapeutic purposes. Mean follow up time was 24.85 +/- 26.62 (2-120) months. A total of 20 (58.82%) eyes required additional surgery, 9 (26.47%) of which required re-keratoplasty with different indications during follow-up. Graft rejection or failure developed in 17 (50.00%) of the eyes in an average of 12.05 (1-45) months. Evisceration was needed in 2 (5.88%) eyes.ConclusionDespite limited access to donor cornea and high complication rate, emergency keratoplasty is one of the most important options that retain ocular integrity in the treatment of corneal infections and non-traumatic corneal perforations unresponsive to conventional treatment.
