Comparison of Conjunctival Autograft and Conjunctival Rotation Flap Techniques in Primary Pterygium Surgery

Abstract

BACKGROUNDA large section of the society is pursuing occupations in the outdoors which exposes the eyes to the ultraviolet radiations. The UV exposure leads to primary pterygium which in turn may lead to loss of vision. Persons with sedentary occupations in the indoors also have reported with primary pterygium although they are less in number. Prognosis of surgical treatment is encouraging. Therefore, the authors are motivated to incorporate two safer methods of surgeries. They are Conjunctival autograft and Conjunctival rotation flap techniques in primary pterygium surgery. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the complications and recurrence rate after primary pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft and conjunctival rotation flap techniques over a span of 18 months and to compare the two aforesaid methods as they are safer techniques in the treatment of primary pterygium.
