PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical outcome of lamellar graft patching used for treating noninfectious corneal perforations and to determine the clinical factors affecting tectonic integrity. METHODS: This retrospective study includes a total of 71 eyes of 67 patients who underwent lamellar graft patching for the treatment of corneal perforations due to persistent epithelial defects secondary to limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD, 21 eyes; 29.6%), peripheral ulcerative keratitis (17 eyes; 23.9%), neurotrophic keratitis due to herpes simplex keratitis (HSK, 14 eyes; 19.7%), and other causes (19 eyes; 26.8%). We evaluated the tectonic integrity of the globe, visual outcomes, and postoperative complications. RESULTS: Tectonic integrity was achieved in 53 eyes (74.6%). The survival proportions of eyes that achieved clear grafts were 77.8% and 65.2% at 12 and 24 months, respectively. Graft failure was observed in 19 eyes (26.8%). The survival rate of tectonic integrity and eyes that finally achieved a clear graft was significantly worse in eyes with LSCD compared with those without (P < 0.001). The logarithm of minimal angle resolution improved significantly from 1.79 ± 0.98 to 1.22 ± 0.87 at 12 months and 1.08 ± 0.81 at 24 months. Postoperative complications included cataract formation (32 eyes, 45.1%), intraocular pressure rise (23 eyes, 32.4%), recurrent perforations (15 eyes, 21.1%), infectious keratitis (14 eyes, 19.7%), recurrence of herpes simplex keratitis (7 eyes, 9.9%), and traumatic graft dehiscence (1 eye, 1.4%). CONCLUSIONS: Lamellar graft patching is an effective and safe surgical treatment for noninfectious corneal perforations; however, careful attention to severe complications is necessary, especially in eyes with LSCD.
