Pterygium Excision with ConjunctivalAutograft Using Autologous Blood, ARevoloutionary Advancement for Effective Pterygium Management
Journal Title: Ophthalmology and Allied Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Conjunctivalautograft has become the most preferred standard for management of primary pterygium and double pterygium. Securing the autograft over the bed is an important part of surgery and eventually determines the outcome of surgery. Methodology: We reviewed the case records of 100 patients from January 2016 to 2017 who underwent pterygium excision with conjunctivalautograft at our institute. Surgery was performed by a single surgeon for primary or doubleheaded pterygium. Results: All cases were properly assessed and followed up at every visit. The average age of study population was 45 years (18 to 65). 75% of patients were less than 40 years of age. Male to female ratio was 1:1. All the patients had an uneventful surgery. The patients were followed up on 5th day, 15th day, 1month, 3months, and 6months. Conclusion: We strongly recommend the conjunctivallimbalautograft with autologous blood for ensuring low recurrence and safety.
