Abstract: | Purpose:.To compare the efficacy of pterygium resection combined with conjunctival autograft versus pterygium resection combined with amniotic membrane transplantation in the treatment of pterygium. Methods: A total of 118 cases (133 eyes) were randomly assigned to receive pterygium resection combined with conjunctival autograft (n=81) or pterygium resection combined with amniotic membrane transplantation(n=52)..Corneal wound healing and neovascularization and the presence or absence of conjunctival proliferation and hyperemia were analyzed at 12 months post-operatively. Results: In the conjunctival autograft group, 6 eyes (7.4%) had recurrent pterygium,.while in the amniotic membrane transplantation group, 10 eyes showed recurrence (19.2%,P<0.05,.chi-square)..Patients in the conjunctival autograft group recovered significantly faster compared with those in the amniotic membrane transplantation group. Conclusion:.Patients receiving pterygium surgery combined with conjunctival autograft had lower recurrence rates and experience faster recovery compared with those undergoing pterygium resection combined with amniotic membrane transplantation. |
