【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the surgical techniques and
affected factors associated with success of surgery. Methods A
clinical study of pan / annular keratoepithelioplsty (KEP) was
performed retrospectively in fourteen cases with limbal stem cell
dysfunction (eleven cases of ocular surface burns ,two cases of
herpetic stromal keratitis and one case of Terrien's marginal degeration).
The clinical regularity and affected factors associated with success of
surgery were investigated. Results The patients followed up for a mean
of 8.4 months (ranged from 3 to 24 months) after surgery, 12 of 14 eyes
(86 percent) maintained a stable surface at last exam,and none had
epithelial defect. Mean visual acuity improved from ≤0.035 to 0.18;
of the 12 eyes, 11 eyes in which the cornea remained clear had a mean
visual acuity of ≥0.05 (the ability to distinguish the largest symbol
from a distance of 2.5 m). Eight cases had visual acuity 0.1 to 0.5. Two
cases had failure of surgery, one case with Ⅳ degree of chemical burns
complicated with severe lid defect and symblepharon; the other that failure
of surgery results from Descemet membrane perforation which inducing two
anterior chambers and corneal edema. No patients attribute the failure of
surgery to graft rejection because systemic and topical administration of
cyclosporin A combined with steroid was used after surgery. Conclusions
Allograft of pan / annular keratoepithelioplasty is an effective pathway
to supply epithelial cell regeneration resource for patient with limbal
stem cell dysfunction. 86 percent of patients after surgery maintained a
stable surface at last exam,and 79 percent of patients (11 of the 14 eyes )
acquired useful visual acuity; The others in which the cornea still remained
opacity, however in which to perform optical surgeries (penetrating
keratoplasty or lenticular surgery) will be possible because the patients
acquired a stable ocular surface. The affected factors associated with
success of surgery included: 1)limbal stem cell transplantation must be
performed in time in patients with ocular surface burns after amniotic
membrane patching because the neovascularization in the stroma grow with
each passing day, it means that if KEP was postponed the neovesseles will
be too much to dissected thoroughly from deep stroma approaching Descemet's
membrane. As a result of KEP,the patient couldn't get a good vision, and the
risk of rejection will be increase because the graft was transplanted on a
opaque and vascularized bed. 2)The lid and conjunctiva must be kept intact in
anatomy before KEP,otherwise it is impossible to obtain a transparent graft
after surgery. 3)It is important to supply nonpreserved artificial tears for
the patients with mucin tears defiencency;4) It is necessary to apply systemic
and topical cyclosporin A combined with steroid after surgery that may arrest
the occurrence of graft rejection in patients with high risk.
