RESUMEN
El tratamiento exitoso del pterigium constituye un desafío constante para los oftalmólogos. Este tratamiento es netamente quirúrgico, con la intención de lograr su perfeccionamiento sistemático han surgido innumerables técnicas, que se emplean según las particularidades de cada paciente o las del cirujano. El pterigium es de etiología multifactorial, lo cual genera una gran complejidad, cuando se trata de seleccionar la técnica quirúrgica más adecuada. Con el propósito de analizar factores predictivos de recurrencia del pterigium genéticos, histológicos, angiográficos y morfológicos, se realizó esta revisión bibliográfica.
ABSTRACT
The successful treatment of pterygiyum is a permanent challenge to be met by ophthalmologists. This kind of therapy is purely surgical and a number of techniques have emerged to attain its systematic improvement, which are used in line with the particularities of every patient or those of the surgeon. Pterygiyum has a multifactor etiology, so it is very complex to select the most suitable technique to operate it. The present literature review was made to analyze predictive factors of pterygium recurrence such as genetic, histological, angiographic and morphological factors.
