dc.description.abstract | Aim: To evaluate the results of conjunctival autograft transplantation (CAT) combined
with amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) surgery in recurrent pterygium cases.
Methods: This is a retrospective interventional case series involving patients admitted to our clinic with recurrent pterygium. Patients' examination and postoperative
findings were taken through standard slit-lamp microscope examinations. Fourteen
eyes of 14 patients were included in the study. All cases were treated with excision,
followed by CAT combined with AMT. Corneal recurrence was evaluated as the main
result. Fibrovascular proliferation greater than 1 mm on the cornea was accepted as
recurrence after surgery.
Results: The mean age of patients was 56.4 ± 7.5 (range: 40 – 65) years. During
the mean follow-up period of 24.9 ± 10.7 (range: 12 – 50) months, pterygium and
symblepharon recurred in only one eye (7.1%) after 4 months.
Conclusion: In this study, it was seen that acceptable results were obtain and low
recurrence rates could be achieved with the combination of CAT and AMT for the
treatment of recurrent pterygium. | en_US |
