Abstract

Topic: Pterygium auto graft: Inferior found to be superior 

Introduction: Pterygium is an elastotic degeneration of sub epithelial conjunctival tissue which encroach the cornea. Surgical excision is preferred method of treatment. Conjunctival autograft has shown promising results with low recurrence rate. The superior-temporal conjunctiva is mostly used for this purpose but this leads to non availability of superior conjunctiva for future surgical intervention. This study was conducted whether the inferior conjunctival graft functioned similar to the superior graft and whether there was any difference in recurrence of pterygium in between a superior and inferior conjunctival graft.
