ABSTRACT
·AIM:
To investigate the efficiency of limbal conjunctival autografting technique in patients with primary pterygium.·METHODS:
Fifteen eyes of 15 patients with primary pterygium underwent surgery for the removal of pterygium with limbal conjunctival autograft. After the pterygium excision, the limbal portion of the graft was oriented and sutured to the limbus at the recipient bed with the epithelial surface upside. Recurrence was defined as fibrovascular tissue of more than 1 mm over the cornea in the area of previous pterygium excision.·RESULTS:
With mean follow-up period of 8 months, neither recurrences nor serious complications were recorded among our patients.·CONCLUSION; Simple excision followed by limbal-conjunctival autograft transplantation is a safe and very effective way of treating primary pterygium.
