Abstract
Pterygium is a common disease of ocular surface. If it is surgically removed resulting in a bare sclera, the recurrence rate is found to be high. The excision of a double headed pterygium results in a large area of bare sclera. In this study a technique of split conjunctival graft has been described and its surgical outcome has been studied. Material and Methods: This is a hospital based prospective interventional study, conducted over a period of 6 months. 20 patients with double headed pterygium were included in the study. A split conjunctival graft just large enough to cover the bare scleral defect was placed after removal of the double headed pterygium. Follow up as conducted on day 1, 2 weeks,1 month and 3 months. Result: There was recurrence seen in 2 patients on temporal side on the 3rd month follow-up. Rest patients showed no recurrence.
