INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the results of limbal conjunctival autograft transplantation (LCAT) in patients with primary and recurrent pterygium. METHODS: Forty-two eyes of 38 patients were included in the study. 26 of them were primary, while 16 were recurrent pterygium. Limbal conjunctival autograft transplantation was performed after the pterygium excision to all eyes. Patients having a follow-up of at least 12 months were evaluated with respect to demographic data, pterygium grade, surgical complications, recurrence rate, refractive astigmatism and visual acuity. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 44 ± 8.5. Twenty-six (68.4%) patients were male and 12 (31.6%) were female. No recurrence were observed in primary pterygium group, whereas two recurrences were observed in recurrent pterygium group. The overall recurrence rate was 4.7%. Buttonhole complication occurred while forming the graft in three patients. Conjunctival inclusion cyst developed in 2 patients with recurrent pterygium. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Limbal conjunctival autograft transplantation seems to be an effective and safe surgical option in both primary and recurrent pterygiums.
