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...

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 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 outcomes of conjunctival-limbal autograft (clau) in patients with unilateral total limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd) emphasizing surgical problems, complications, and their management. methods: in this prospective interventional case series, clau combined with amniotic membrane transplantation as a graft was performed on 26 patients with unilateral total lscd due to chem...

Aim: To determine the efficacy of limbal conjunctival autograft as compared to conventional bare sclera technique in the prevention of recurrence of pterygium. Material and methods: The study was carried out at Ch. Rehmat Ali Memorial Trust Hospital Lahore from Aug 2008 to May 2011. All the patients with pterygia were randomly divided into two groups with fifteen patients in each group. One gro...

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 The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare recurrence rates upon using mitomycin C (MMC) with limbal-conjunctival autograft for treating recurrent pterygia. METHODOLOGY An interventional, prospective, comparative clinical study was performed in 30 eyes (26 patients) with recurrent pterygia, allocated into two groups: Group A (19 eyes) operated by pterygium excision and limba...

The objective of this pilot study was to examine the usefulness of limbal autograft transplantation (LCAT) in the treatment of recurrent pterygium. Eleven eyes with advanced recurrent pterygium underwent LCAT. All eyes were previously treated at least two times either by simple excision (10) or conjunctival rotation autograft (1). In two eyes (18.18%) symblepharon was present at the time of sur...

stem cells located at the limbus ,  are the ultimate source for regeneration of the corneal epithelium in the normal and traumatized states.  when limbal stem cells are dysfunctional or deficient, limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd) develops. its surgical management depends on laterality and severity of corneal-limbal involvement. conventional methods of stem cell transplantation are conjunctiva...
