Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of inferior limbal-conjunctival autograft transplantaion in patients with primary pterygia.

Methods: Prospective randomised control study was carried out at Department of Ophthalmology, The Army-medical Hospital 175 from June-2018 to February-2019. 106 eyes of 90 patients with primary pterygium were randomized to undergo pterygium surgery with conjunctival autograft transplantation using either superior limbal conjunctiva (53 eyes) or inferior limbal conjunctiva (53 eyes). The patients were followed up on postoperative day 1, 3, 7 and 14; 1, 3, and 6 months.

Results: All patients were followed up for 6 months. The mean age of the patients was 51,18 ± 8,95 (range 26–66) years. Grade 1 and 3 pterygium comprised 8,5% and 16% while grade 2 pterygium comprised 75,5% of cases. Two eyes in the superior conjunctival autograft group (3.8%) and 3 eyes in the inferior conjunctival autograft group (5.7%) developed pterygium recurrence. The mean surgical time, corneal epithelial healing time, cosmetic, complications and recurrence rates required in both groups were not statistically different.

Conclusions: Pterygium excision with inferior conjunctival autograft is safe and effective. There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups, after excision with superior or inferior limbal conjunctival autograft.
