Removing corneal sutures after penetrating keratoplasty improves visual acuity and graft transparency. However, this procedure can lead to increased endothelial cell loss and corneal edema.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Corneal Surgery
  • Transplantation

Context:

  • Analysis of post-operative outcomes in penetrating keratoplasty patients.
  • Study conducted at the Ophthalmology Service of University and Hospital's Center in Tours.
  • Patient age range: 20-90 years, average 56.83 years.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the results of penetrating keratoplasty following suture removal.
  • To assess the impact of suture removal on graft transparency and visual acuity.
  • To identify common post-operative complications.

Summary:

  • Suture removal post-penetrating keratoplasty improved graft transparency and visual acuity.
  • Ocular hypertony was the most frequent complication (63.67%).
  • 41.71% of patients presented with pseudophakic or aphakic bullous keratopathy.

Impact:

  • Final suture removal enhances visual outcomes in corneal transplant recipients.
  • Despite visual improvement, increased endothelial cell loss (65.65%) and corneal edema are noted.
  • Highlights the trade-offs between visual gain and graft health after suture removal.
