Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Proprioception from the ocular surface is not normally perceived, firstly because of lack of proprioceptors and secondly due to the smooth and regular surface pattern Aims and Objectives: To Study various complications of conjunctival autogrfting for the management of pterygia. Methodology: This was cross-sectional study was carried out in the department of Ophthalmology, Government Medical college and Hospital, Latur during August 2015 to February 2017. Total 37 eyes of 35 patients underwent pterygium excision with conjunctival autografting. Out of 37 pterygia, 35 were primary and 2 were recurrent pterygia. Result: 73% of the patients belonging to the age group of 30-50 yrs., which is youngest age and the pterygial tissue is fleshy and vascular 5.71% of patients from extreme age group and 8.57% from the very young age. The majority of the patients were Female i.e. 60% and Males were 40%. All the patients were having congestion, which reduced after inflammation is subsided. 21.62% of patients showing chemosis, which responded well to topical steroids. No need to treat subconjunctival hemorrhage, which was seen in 5.4% of cases. 5.4% showing wound dehiscence, which was sutured in second sitting. No other major complications noted. Not a single case of recurrence was found in primary pterygium group, while one case out of 2, with recurrence from recurrent pterygium group. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that most common complication were congestion, chemosis, subconjunctival hemorrhage, wound dehiscence, No other major complications noted
