Purpose
• To evaluate visual outcomes after combined penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and vitreoretinal surgery using temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP)
![Page 3: Visual Outcomes After Temporary Keratoprosthesis Kristin C. Bains, MD Robert Phillips, MD The authors have no financial interest in the subject matter](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efa5503460f94c0cc44/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Introduction • Utilized in patients with coexisting corneal and
vitreoretinal pathology• Combined procedure necessary for adequate
visualization intraoperatively• If combined only with PK, delay waiting for graft to
clear, leading to worsening retinal pathology• Does not expose patient to risks associated with
open-sky vitrectomy• Attempts to restore visual function by allowing
earlier surgical intervention

Methods
• IRB approval obtained• Retrospective, observational case series
– CPT code 65770 – Date range: 2003-2010– 55 eyes of 47 patients identified
• 1 corneal surgeon, multiple vitreoretinal surgeons• Included: 47 eyes of 41 patients who underwent
combined TKP/PK and vitreoretinal surgery• Excluded: 8 eyes of 6 patients lost to follow-up• Previous surgeries common

Methods
• Wide-field Landers TKP
• Vitreoretinal procedures– 3 port ppv– Pars plana lensectomy if
indicated– Retinal reattachment
• Penetrating keratoplasty

Results
• Follow-up: 1 month- 67 months• Mean pt follow-up: 23.4 months
• Post-operative graft status at final follow-up
• 17 clear (36.9%)
• 29 rejected
• 7 repeat TKP/PK
• 5 repeat PK

Conclusions
• Before combined surgery 21 eyes had BCVA of ambulatory to HM.
• Post-operatively, majority of patients (32 eyes) had BCVA of ambulatory to HM.
• 93.6% of eyes (44 eyes) were retained
• 2.1% of eyes (1 eye) became phthisical

Conclusion
• Tool used in management of complex disease, without which, many eyes could not be salvaged
• Combined surgery is not without complications
• Outcomes can be good considering complexity of pathology
