Dr Vidhya Verma

Abstract :

This study was done to evaluate the most effective technique in the management of pterygium. 100 cases with primary nasal pterygium were divided into 4 groups (25 patients in each group). Group I– treated by the pterygium excision– bare sclera technique. Group II treated by the pterygium excision with CLAG–Suture. Group III treated by pterygium excision with CLAG– cut and paste technique (without using suture and glue). Group IV treated by pterygium excision with CLAG– fiin glue. Pterygium surgeries were evaluated in terms of complications, time taken for surgery and recurrence. The recurrence rate was highest (36%) in the group without transplantation. The pterygium excision with CLAG– cut and paste technique are highly efficient in terms of low recurrence rates, high level of patient comfort, minimum surgery time and cost effectiveness.
