For the graft, a conjunctival/limbal autograft and/or amniotic membrane may be used. This generally requires extra technical skills and assistance, an increase in the cost and duration of surgery, and a more extensive an...

متن کاملLong term results of intraoperative mitomycin C in the treatment of recurrent pterygium.
AIM The study was designed to evaluate the long term results of intraoperative mitomycin C in patients with one recurrence of pterygium. METHODS In 45 white patients with one recurrence of pterygium the 'bare sclera technique' was performed and a sterile sponge soaked in a 0.2 mg/ml (0.02%) mitomycin C solution was placed intraoperatively on the sclera for 3 minutes. The control group underwe...
متن کاملAn improved surgical technique for pterygium excision with intraoperative application of mitomycin-C.
A surgical technique was designed to improve safety after pterygium excision with intraoperative application of mitomycin-C (MMC). A limbic incision was performed in 40 eyes. The body of the pterygium was dissected from the episclera to allow its excision. Care was taken to avoid excessive delamination and cauterization of tissues. A 0.02% MMC solution was then applied. Only at the end of the s...
