Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Purpose: To describe a new technique of conjunctival autografting for double head pterygia and to evaluate its post-operative outcome. Method: Retrospective analysis of eight eyes of surgically managed double head pterygium was done. The conjunctival autograft from Nasal and Temporal pterygium in same eye was taken from the body of pterygium on either side and the harvested conjunctival autograft from the body of the nasal pterygium was transferred to temporal pterygiumand vice versa without losing limbal orientation. The patients were followed up for recurrence of lesion and incidence of complications. Result: Partial recurrence was noted in one male on temporal side. Conclusion: Transferring conjunctival autograft harvested from bodies of nasal and temporal pterygia in the same eye to utilize for autografting in temporal and nasal pterygium in double head pterygium is minimally invasive and useful procedure for double headed pterygium.
