About Cornea Scleral Perforation Repair

Cornea Scleral Perforation Repair is a critical, sight-saving surgical procedure performed by an ophthalmologist to seal a full-thickness hole or rupture in the outer layers of the eye, the cornea (clear front part) and/or the sclera (white part). This emergency surgery aims to restore the structural integrity of the eyeball, prevent the loss of intraocular contents like the aqueous humor or vitreous, and avert severe complications such as infection or permanent vision loss. The technique involves meticulous suturing, often with tissue grafts (like amniotic membrane or donor sclera), to achieve a watertight closure. Timely repair is essential to preserve vision, reduce the risk of endophthalmitis (a severe internal eye infection), and maintain the eye's normal shape and pressure.

Key Highlights

Sight-Saving Intervention: Prevents permanent vision loss by immediately sealing the eye's protective outer layer.Restores Structural Integrity: Re-establishes the globe's shape and maintains normal intraocular pressure.Prevents Severe Infection: A watertight seal is crucial to block entry of bacteria, preventing endophthalmitis.listrongCustomized Surgical Approach:/strong Technique (suturing, grafting) is tailored to the size, location, and cause of the perforation./lilistrongFoundation for Further Treatment:/strong A successful repair creates a stable platform for any subsequent vision-restoring surgeries (e.g., cataract or corneal transplant)./li/ul

Who is this surgery for?

Traumatic injury to the eye (e.g., from sharp objects, blunt force, or chemical burns).
Perforation due to advanced corneal ulcers or infections that have eroded through the layers.
Complication from previous eye surgery (e.g., cataract surgery).
Spontaneous perforation from severe autoimmune or inflammatory diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, Mooren's ulcer).
Perforation caused by corneal thinning disorders like keratoconus or Terrien's marginal degeneration.

How to prepare

Emergency Assessment: Immediate evaluation in the emergency department, including a detailed history of the injury.
Imaging: An ultrasound (B-scan) of the eye may be performed if the view is obscured to assess the posterior segment.
Medication Review: Disclosure of all current medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, warfarin).
Informed Consent: Discussion of the urgent nature of the surgery, its risks, benefits, and the need for possible general anesthesia.
Pre-operative Measures: Administration of broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics to prevent infection and application of a protective shield over the eye.

Risks & possible complications

Infection (Endophthalmitis): A severe, vision-threatening infection inside the eye.
Elevated Intraocular Pressure (Glaucoma): Can occur post-operatively.
Cataract Formation: The trauma or surgery may accelerate cataract development.
Corneal Scarring & Astigmatism: Healing can cause irregular corneal shape, leading to blurred vision.
Retinal Detachment: Risk associated with the initial trauma or subsequent procedures.
Graft Failure or Re-perforation: The repaired site may not heal properly or may break down again.
Persistent Inflammation or Pain.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital Stay: Typically requires a short inpatient stay for monitoring and initial intravenous antibiotics.
Eye Protection: A rigid shield must be worn, especially while sleeping, for several weeks to prevent accidental pressure.
Medication Regimen: Strict use of prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops to prevent infection and control swelling.
Activity Restrictions: Avoid heavy lifting, straining, bending over, and any activity that could increase eye pressure for 4-6 weeks.
Follow-up Visits: Frequent post-operative check-ups are crucial to monitor healing, eye pressure, and for suture removal if non-dissolvable sutures are used.
Vision Rehabilitation: Final visual outcome may require glasses, contact lenses, or additional surgeries (like cataract extraction) once the eye is fully stable, which can take months.

Typical hospital stay: 2-5 days
Expected recovery time: 6-12 weeks for initial stabilization; full visual recovery may take several months

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a couple of...

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
