Dr. M Kiranmai, Dr. V. Tripura
Abstract :
Background and objectives:
Primary pterygium is one of the most common disorders seen in our community because the inhabitants have a high exposure to ultraviolet light. But recurrence after excision of pterygium is a common problem and various techniques have been used to reduce its recurrence rates. This study was undertaken to compare the surgical outcome after pterygium excision with bare sclera technique and conjunctival limbal autograft.
Methods: A prospective study was done which included 41 patients who attended the OPD during the study period. They were randomly assigned into the following 1 group of 21 eyes and other group of 20 eyes, group A( bare sclera excision) and group B(conjunctival limbal autograft) and surgeries were done in Goverment general hospital, Siddhartha Medical Sciences during June 2014 to December 2014. All patients were followed up on post operative day 1, day 7, 1 month for recurrence and graft complications.To make a comparative study of pterygium management in order to evaluate the methods of effective management and prevention of recurrence of pterygium and complications
Results :
In our study, which included 41 patients, there were four cases of recurrence after the pterygium excision and conjunctival autograft surgery.
Interpretation & Conclusion:
Conjunctival autografting is a safe and effective procedure in the management of pterygium. The recurrence rate following limbal conjunctival autografting is significantly lower than that following primary conjunctival closure.
