purpose : to evaluate the efficiency and safety of using autologous fibrin glue for attachment of a conjunctival autograft in primary pterygium surgery methods : in this prospective interventional case series, 15 eyes from 13 patients with primary nasal pterygium were included for conjunctival autograft surgery. on the operation day, thrombin and fibrinogen were prepared from the patient’s own ...

To present reversal of sensation of conjunctival limbal autograft. A 48-year-old female presented with red-colored mass in the left eye involving the temporal bulbar conjunctiva and limbus. It was vascular, elevated, compressible and immobile. Excisional biopsy, and conjunctiva limbal autgrafting with fibrin glue was performed, and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of capillar...

Aim: To compare the recurrence rate of pterygium after excision with free conjunctival autograft versus amniotic membrane graft. Methods: The present study was a comparative, randomised prospective study. One hundred patients who presented with primary pterygium during the study period were randomly assigned to one of the two groupsone group (comprising of 50 patients) underwent pterygium excis...

AIM To study the efficacy and safety of amniotic membrane graft as an adjunctive therapy after removal of primary pterygium, and to compare the clinical outcome with conjunctival autograft and topical mitomycin C. METHODS 80 eyes of 71 patients with primary pterygia were treated with excision followed by amniotic membrane graft. The result was compared retrospectively with 56 eyes of 50 patie...

purpose: to investigate the efficacy of limbal-conjunctival autografting technique in patients with primary pterygium methods: fifteen eyes of 15 patients with primary pterygium underwent surgery for the removal of pterygium with limbal-conjunctival autograft. after the pterygium excision, the limbal portion of the graft was oriented and sutured to the limbus at the recipient bed with the epith...

Aim: To evaluate the results of limbal conjunctival autograft in the treatment of pterygium. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted at S.Nijalingappa Medical College Bagalkot from Jan 2010 to Dec 2010 with follow up for a period of 6 months. 30 patients were operated (Male-13, Female-17). Complete history and clinical examination were recorded on a pre-designed proforma. Th...

PURPOSE To report the incidence of recurrence after primary pterygium surgery using either a free conjunctival or limbal-conjunctival autograft without antimetabolites. METHODS One hundred eleven eyes of 90 patients underwent pterygium resection; a free conjunctival autograft was used in 88 surgeries and a free limbal-conjunctival autograft in 24; the latter technique was reserved for dark-sk...

purpose: to evaluate the results of one 60-degree block conjunctival limbal autograft (clau) surgery in patients with unilateral total limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd). methods: five eyes of 5 patients were included. all patients had a history of chronic total unilateral lscd due to a chemical injury. two patients underwent one 60-degree block clau with amniotic membrane transplantation, two ...

purpose: to compare outcomes and recurrence rates of amniotic membrane transplantation (amt) plus intraoperative mitomycin c (mmc) and conjunctival rotational autograft (cra) plus intraoperative mmc in pterygium surgery methods: ninety-two eyes of 92 patients with primary nasal pterygium were enrolled. all patients were randomized to undergo either amt or cra. forty-three patients underwent amt...
