摘要
角膜假体(Kpro)被认为是治疗双侧终末期角膜失明的最后手段。常用的Kpros是Boston Type 1和2 Kpros, Modified Osteoodonto Kpro, OsteoKpro和Pintucci Kpro。这些手术需要专门的设置、长期随访和术后护理。由于角膜假体是异物,这些手术总是存在感染或设备挤压并发症的重大长期风险。Kpro手术最常见的并发症是术后青光眼、假体后膜、无菌熔体和眼内炎。
Keratoprosthesis (Kpro) is considered as the last resort for bilateral endstage corneal blindness. Commonly performed Kpros are Boston Type 1 and 2 Kpros, Modified Osteoodonto Kpro, OsteoKpro, and Pintucci Kpro. These procedures require an exclusive setup, longterm follow-up, and postKpro care. There is always a significant long-term risk of complications of infection or extrusion of the device with these procedures as the keratoprosthesis is a foreign body. Most common complications of Kpro procedure are postoperative glaucoma, retroprosthetic membrane, sterile melts, and endophthalmitis.
