BACKGROUND: Indications for corneal transplantation in developed and developing
nations differ according to the different spectrum of corneal disease in each
country. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to analyze the changing
indications and surgical techniques for corneal transplantation over the past 20
years at a tertiary referral center in Turkey. METHODS: We retrospectively
reviewed the records of patients who underwent keratoplasty from January 1995 to
December 2014 (between 1995 and 2004, period 1, and between 2005 and 2014, period
2). Patients' demographic data, indications for corneal transplantation, and the
type of surgery were recorded. RESULTS: The number of keratoplasties performed
ranged from 548 in period 1 to 782 in period 2. Between 1995 and 2004, the
leading indications were keratoconus (34.1%), bullous keratopathy (17%), and
non-herpetic corneal scar (13.3%), and between 2005 and 2014, they were
keratoconus (33.8%), corneal stromal dystrophy (14.2%), and bullous keratopathy
(12.7%). All the keratoplasties performed in the 1995-2004 period were
penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). During the period 2005-2014, PKP accounted for
93%, automated lamellar keratoplasty 5.8%, and deep anterior lamellar
keratoplasty 1.2% of all corneal transplantations. CONCLUSION: Keratoconus was
the leading indication for keratoplasty in both periods. In the 2005-2014 period,
corneal stromal dystrophy increased significantly. All the keratoplasties
performed in period 1 and 93% of all keratoplasties performed in period 2 were
PKP.
