The authors present post-operative complications in 150 cases of penetrating keratoplasties, after at least one years' interval. The analysis of results shows a predominance, at short term, of seidal and hypertony, at medium term, by reject and hypertony. Long term complications show a predominance of cataract and astigmatism. Some complications are common to many cases. Nevertheless, this surgery, while not devoid of complications, permits important functional recuperation in a good number of cases (71.2%).
