A Comparative Study of Treatment of Pterygium by Excision and Limbal Autograft or Augmented withPost-Op Mitomycin C
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 11
Abstract
Pterygium is a cause of diminution of vision when it encroaches on the pupillary area. It typically develops in patients who have been living in hot climates and may represent a response to chronic dryness and exposure to ultraviolet light, dust and hot winds. It is rarely seen in patients younger than the age of 20 years. The study was conducted to study the clinical profile of pterygium and to compare results of recurrence by excision with limbal conjunctival autografts or postoperative topical Mitomycin Cdrops. The present study was conducted at the Department Of Ophthalmology at Agartala Government Medical college and GB Pant Hospital over a period of 18 months (October 2016 to May 2018). One of the main aims of the study was to compare the effectiveness of conjunctival limbal autografting and mitomycin C in preventing the recurrence of pterygium. In the present study it was found that recurrence of pterygium occurred in 2 (5%) out of 40 eyes treated with limbal conjunctival autograft and 3 (7.5%) out of 40 eyes in whom pterygium excision was followed by postoperative mitomycin C.
