Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
The study was conducted in District Hospital Baramulla from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2016. It was a post-operative interventional study. In this study, 100 eyes of 100 patients with primary nasal pterygium were operated, 65 males and 35 females. Simple excision under local anesthesia was performed followed by closure of bare sclera by conjunctival autograft. The conjuctival autograft was sutured by three releasable (10-0 Nylon) sutures, single pass three throw loop knot with long ends, one each at upper and lower limbal corner, third one at middle of graft on nasal side. The three surtures were removed on third postoperative day by pulling the long end of the knot. Follow up period was six months. Recurrence occurred in one patient (1%), other complications include subconjuctival hemorrhage/ sub graft hemorrhage in twelve patients (12%), conjuctival chemosis in nine patients (9%), graft retraction from nasal side in four patients (4%), overriding of graft on cornea in three patients (3%) and granuloma in donor site in one patient (1%)
