A Comparative Study of Conjunctival Autograft Versus Conjunctival Auto Rotation Flap Techniques Following Pterygium Excision
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: To compare between free conjunctival autograft and conjunctival autorotation flap technique following simple surgical excision of pterygium. Methods: Fifty patients with pterygium attending the outpatient and in-patient department, Department of Ophthalmology, K.R.Hospital, Mysore, fulfilling the inclusion criteria framed were included under the study, between the period from June 2013 to June 2014 (1 year). Informed and written consent was taken from all the patients. After detailed history, all necessary ocular and systemic examination was done. After simple pterygium excision, 25 patients received conjunctival autograft and another 25 cases received a conjunctival autorotation flap technique. All cases were followed-up for 3 months after surgery for recurrence and complications. Results: Surgical time was less in conjunctival autorotation flap technique with significant statistical difference (p<0.001).Recurrence was seen in 2 (8%) and 3 (12%) cases in conjunctival autograft and autorotation flap groups respectively. Post operative complications was seen in 3 (12%) cases in both conjunctival autograft and conjunctival autorotation flap groups. No significant statistical difference was seen in recurrence and postoperative complications between the two groups. Conclusion: Conjunctival transplants either a free conjunctival autografting or conjunctival autorotation flap technique is an effective surgical procedure in reducing the recurrences following simple pterygium excision
