Conjunctional flap in management of pterygium

ABSTRACT

Forty four patients having pterygia [36 primary and 8 recurrent] were surgically managed by a rotational conjunctival flap, performed either from the upper or from both upper and lower bulbar conjunctiva. All cases were followed up for at least 6 months. The success rate was 98% in patients with primary pterygia and 84% in patients with primary pterygia and 84% in patients with recurrent pterygia
