Conjunctival-Limbal Autograft for Primary and Recurrent Pterygium.
Аннотация
BACKGROUND
It has been postulated that pterygium results from hypo function of limbal stem cells. Therefore conjunctival-limbal autograft has been advocated for the treatment of this condition. This study was undertaken to evaluate the results of conjunctival-limbal autograft procedure in primary and recurrent pterygia.
METHODS
32 eyes of 28 individuals with primary and recurrent pterygium (24 primary, 8 recurrent) were undertaken for conjunctival-limbal autograft procedure under peribulbar anaesthesia followed by topical antibiotic- steroid drops for two weeks. The cases were reviewed as per protocol for 6 to 18 months.
RESULT: There was no recurrence of pterygium in these cases and they were free from any major postoperative complications.
CONCLUSION
Conjunctival-limbal autograft is the procedure of choice for primary and recurrent pterygia.
