Clinical efficacy of surgical resection of conjunctival papillae combined with autologous conjunctival graft in treatment of vernal keratoconjunctivitis
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2021, Vol 36, Issue 11
Abstract
[Objective:] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical resection of conjunctival papillae combined with autologous conjunctival graft in the treatment of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC). [Methods:] All 11 cases (22 eyes) with VKC were treated with surgical resection of conjunctival papillae in combination with autologous conjunctival graft. Clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated. [Results:] After 36 to 48 months of follow-up, 19 eyes were cured (86.36%), 2 eyes were improved (9.09%), and 1 eye was ineffective (4.55%). The total effective rate was 95.45%. [Conclusion:] Surgical resection of conjunctival papillae combined with autologous conjunctival graft is efficacious and safe in the treatment of VKC.
