OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of sequential pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft (PECA) in the management of double-headed pterygia.
METHODS: All patients who underwent a sequential PECA procedure for double-headed pterygia from 2004 to 2009 were included in this retrospective, noncomparative, interventional case series. The recurrence rate and visual outcomes after this procedure were determined.
RESULTS: Nine eyes of 8 patients with doubled-headed pterygia undergoing sequential PECA were identified. Of 18 PECA procedures, 1 recurrence (5.56%) was found. The single recurrence was observed nasally in the right eye (first site operated) of a female patient 55 months after the second PECA procedure. None of the operated eyes lost any lines of corrected distance visual acuity, and 22% gained at least 1 line of corrected distance visual acuity.
CONCLUSIONS: In this series, harvesting the conjunctival autograft from the same site several months later does not appear to increase the rate of recurrence. Sequential PECA is a safe and effective method of addressing double-headed pterygia.
