Corneal Transplant: Penetrating Keratoplasty for Advanced Keratoconus and Corneal Infiltrates

In this video we review the surgical technique for penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). This corneal transplant technique has been recently surpassed by selective lamellar techniques but it is still a fundamental vision restoring surgery in cases of severe corneal ectasia (keratoconus, keratoglobus, pellucid marignal degeneration) or deep stromal opacities from infectious or traumatic corneal lesions. This patient had advanced keratoconus (grade 3 RETICS) with significant stromal thinning as well as subepithelial infiltrates from previous adenoviral keratitis. Both conditions led to a best visual acuity of 20/100. Penetrating keratoplasty was the only technqiue that could relaibly correct both corneal conditions We perform a step-by-step review of the PKP technique If you are an anteriro segment surgeon be sure to watch the entire video and feel free to comment or place any questions #cornealtransplant #penetratingkeratoplasty #ophthalmology
