Materials/ Methods
Retrospective, noncomparative case series Review of 272 consecutive eyes that underwent PKP at a final referral
center in Russian Federation since 1975 Data collected retrospectively from May 1975 through November
1988 and prospectively thereafter

Materials/ Methods Inclusion criteria: the underlying pathology - keratoconus (82
eyes, 30 %), post inflammatory disease (92 eyes, 33 %), pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (63 eyes, 23 %) and dystrophies (35 eyes, 14 %). Only primary low-risk grafts were included in the trial
All patients underwent penetrating keratoplasty To reduce postoperative astigmatism patented graft marking
method (V. Kopayeva, 1982) was incorporated with disc diameter 7.0- 9.0 mm.

Graft marking method surgical steps(V. Kopayeva, 1982) 3
Graft placed onto the wound bed
of the recipient cornea. The marks on the corneas of the donor and the recipient are precisely adjusted
Fixation of the graft by four interrupted sutures strictly along by the adjusted marks
Fasterning of the graft by continuous suture. Interrupted sutures removed

Results
Mean recipient age was 42 years (24 – 72) Almost all patients had visual acuity sufficient for
reading 180 patients reached UCVA 10/20. Postoperative
astigmatism noted in 32 % cases within 0.5 – 2.5 D, in 68% -within 4.0 D

Results
11 cases of secondary graft failure (4%) registered
Survival of the first time grafts was 98.9 % at 5 years, 98.0% at 10 years, 98.0 % at 20 years and 96.0 % at 30 years after PKP
Regrafting was done due to secondary graft failure, trauma, herpetic keratitis recurrence
Secondary graft failure12 months after primary

Conclusions
There is limited number of publications on graft survival
with a follow – up longer than 10 years The long-term survival rates demonstrate that PKP is safe
and effective treatment in corneal diseases transplanted in Russia and prove possibility to maintain clear graft over long term with minimal postoperative astigmatism
Despite low risks of graft failure in uncomplicated eyes rejection possibility substantiates follow – up over whole life span
