Methods: This retrospective study was comprised of 16 eyes treated by insertion of intrastromal corneal ring and 30 eyes treated by penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) who were diagnosed with keratoconus or keratectasia. Visual acuity, refractive outcome, keratometric values were evaluated before and at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months postoperatively. In addition, the implanted ring segment depth was measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography and the results were compared based on the depth of the ring. Results: Twelve months after treatment, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was log MAR 0.32 at the ring group and log MAR 0.20 at the PKP group. BCVA change was larger at the PKP group than the ring group. Postoperative keratometric value was smaller at the ring group than at the PKP group. 3 mm irregular astigmatism was larger at the ring group than at the PKP group. The shallowly implanted ring group had a larger effect than the deeply implanted ring group. Conclusions: Intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation appears to be effective in improving the visual acuity and refractive outcome, although it cannot substitute for PKP.

Pocketing hook을이용하여절개부위의바닥까지누른상태를유지하면서절개부위바깥쪽으로포켓을만들고 symmetric glide를이용하여포켓을넓혔다. Vacuum centering guide (VCG) 를삽입하고 450 mmbar의낮은압력으로눈을고정한후시계방향 dissector 를포켓에삽입하고 630 mmbar의높은압력으로변환한후시계방향으로천천히 dissector를돌려내측반경 6.0 mm, 외측반경 7.5 mm의 180도터널을만들었다. 반시계방향으로 dissector를삽입해동일한방법으로 180도터널을만들었다. 진공을풀고 VCG를제거한후양쪽터널로인택스링을삽입하고각막절개부위를 10-0 나일론으로한바늘봉합한후봉합사는각막실질내로묻었다. 대조군인전층각막이식술에서총 30안중 21안에서공여각막-수여부위크기차이는 0.25 mm였고, 평균차이는 0.24 ± 0.15 mm이었다. 각막링을삽입한환자군은술후 1개월동안 0.5% moxifloxacin (Vigamox, Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, Texas, USA) 점안액을하루 4회점안하였고술후 2주동안 1% prednisolone acetate (Pred Forte ; Allergan, Inc., Irvine, CA) 점안액을하루 4회점안한후 0.1% Fluorometholone (Ocumetholone, Samil, Korea) 을 1개월동안점안하였다. 봉합사는술후 1개월후제거하였다. 전층각막이식술을시행한대조군역시술후 2개월동안 0.5% moxifloxacin 점안액을하루 4회점안하였고술후 1% prednisolone acetate 점안액은환자의경과에따라점안기간및횟수를조정하여점안하였다. 검사항목은나안시력, 최대교정시력, 구면렌즈대응치, 각막지형도 (Orbscan II, Bausch and Lomb Inc., Rochester, NY, USA) 를이용한최대각막곡률값, 최소각막곡률값, 평균각막곡률값, 각막난시, K 3 mm IR, K 5 mm IR 등을측 정하여결과를비교하였다. Gold Standard Grading Scheme 10 에따라원추각막의진행정도를분류하였다. 수술전에비하여평균각막곡률값이 3D 이상증가한경우진행소견으로판정하였으며수술중혹은수술후합병증의유무를함께조사하였다. 술후전안부빛간섭단층촬영기 (Visante, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA, USA) 를이용하여각막링의각막실질내실제삽입깊이를 180도축으로잘라 3회측정하여평균값을구하였고, 링앞 (A) 과뒤 (B) 의잔여각막두께를측정하여 A 두께가 B 두께의 2배이상이되는경우를깊게삽입된군, A 두께가 B 두께의 2배미만이되는경우를얕게삽입된군으로나누어삽입두께에따른임상효과의변화를비교분석하였다 (Fig. 2). 난시벡터분석을시행하여각막링삽입전후난시변화를비교하였다. 11 M은 spherical equivalent, B는굴절오차에대한벡터크기이다.

9 - 김지아외 : 각막링삽입술의임상성적비교분석 - 을시행한환자에서시력의개선이각막이식보다많이못미친다면환자의만족도및고비용을고려할때인택스링삽입술이각막이식의임시대치로활용하는것에회의가발생할수밖에없다. 본결과에따르면, 평균최대교정시력이각막이식군에서더좋았고, 3 mm 범위부정난시또한각막이식군에서더감소하였다. 이러한결과만고려한다면각막링삽입술을바로시행하기보다는각막이식을시행하는것이기회비용고려의측면에서는더나은선택일수있을것이다. 합병증측면에서는인택스링삽입군의 70% 에서링주변으로각막실질침착물이발생하였으며, 각막중심부까지침범하지는않고더이상진행하지않아기능적인이상을초래하지는않았으나일부환자에서미관상불편을언급하였다. 1안에서링삽입부근처의신생혈관이발생하면서신생혈관주위각막두께가점차얇아져각막링노출의위험이높아각막링을제거하고각막이식술을받았다. 즉, 인택스링삽입술은눈에 PMMA 제재가삽입되는것이므로 PMMA가비교적불활성한물질이라해도이물질에대한조직염증반응이일어날수있음을시사하며, 경과관찰시무증상염증이의심되면항염증치료를추가하는것이좋겠다. 합병증자체가각막이식의합병증보다는중증이아닐수있으나, 여전히이물질삽입에의한염증반응에따른합병증에서완전히면제될수없다는점에서유효성, 고비용과더불어판단할때원추각막에서각막링삽입술을시행할것인지표준치료인각막이식을시행할것인지는신중한선택이필요하다. 하지만본연구에서는대상군의수가적고경과관찰기간이짧아보다장기적인결과를제대로알수없다는한계점을지닌다. 본연구의제한점은각막링삽입군과각막이식군의수술전나안시력, 교정시력, 난시등의기본적인질병진행정도가달랐던점이다. 후향적으로이전에임상적으로치료된환자들을추적하는과정에서더진행되고, 각막혼탁이있는환자들이각막이식군의대상이된것으로분석되었다. 하지만윤리적으로비교적경한환자들을중한합병증이일어날수있는각막이식수술군에넣는것은문제가될수있으며임상적으로적용하기도어려운면을고려할때의미있는연구라생각한다. 또다른제한점으로두군의추적관찰기간이각막링삽입군에서 ± 6.11개월과각막이식군에서 ± 25.01개월로차이가있어각막이식군에서수술후충분한기간이경과하여더안정된결과를보였을가능성이있다는점이다. 하지만각막링삽입이링삽입을하고나서각막난시를바꿀만한추가조작이없는것에반하여각막이식군은수술후실밥을제거하는과정에서각막곡률에더많은변동을야기할수있으며이에대한보정을위하여수술후실밥을제거하고나서 1년이경과한환자들을대상 으로하였으므로이를고려하면비교가능한대조군이라생각한다. 향후더많은대상군에대해인택스각막링의효과와안전성에대한장기임상연구가필요할것으로생각한다. 최근, 각막링삽입술과리보플라빈크로스링킹을결합하여시력호전을개선하고각막굴절력및난시를감소시키려는시도가증가하고있어, 그결과를주목하고있으며이러한접근이성공한다면, 각막이식을대치하는수술의하나가될가능성이있겠다. 18 또한, 최근심부표층각막이식술이각막확장증에서많이시행되어좋은결과가보고되고있어이또한추가연구가필요하나효과적인치료방법으로기대되고있다. 19 결론적으로인택스링각막링삽입술은시력교정이나각막곡률값을감소시키는데에있어효과가있으나, 현재까지는그효과가각막이식과비교하여보았을때각막이식을대치하는수술로선택하기에는아직부족하다고판단된다.
