ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To review surgical options, techniques, and outcomes of anterior staphyloma repair done following trauma and surgery.

Methods:

This was a retrospective case study of patients who underwent staphyloma repair with scleral or tibial periosteal patch grafts following trauma and surgery with a minimum follow-up of 3 months postoperatively. Preoperative risk factors, choice of graft materials, surgical details, and outcomes in terms of graft uptake and tectonic integrity were analyzed.

Results:

Seventeen eyes of 17 patients underwent successful staphyloma repair (scleral 15, tibial periosteal two). Mean follow-up was 47.1 months (3–159 months). Postoperative intraocular pressure rise noted in four eyes was controlled medically or surgically. Three patients underwent successful repeat patch grafting (graft melt one and recurrent ectasia two). Tectonic integrity of the eyeball was restored and maintained in all patients at the final follow-up.

Conclusion:

Comprehensive evaluation of the risk factors, control of ocular comorbid conditions, and early and meticulous surgery can optimize results.
