Background: Pterygium is a fibrovascular conjunctival growth within the palpebral fissure extending onto the corneal surface. Recurrence is a common post-op complication of pterygium excision surgery, with various rates depending on the techniques used ...

Preventing conjunctival autograft inversion in pterygium surgery [PDF]
Surgeon-dependent variables influencing pterygium surgical outcome using the conjunctival autograft technique include conjunctival retraction as a consequence of subepithelial contracting fibrous tissue, and autograft inversion causing necrosis and sloughing of the graft.A simple and useful technique of pterygium excision is described, which helps to ...

Abstract Corneal reconstruction is a key part of veterinary ophthalmic practice and numerous reconstructive techniques have been described for use in small animals in the peer‐reviewed veterinary literature written in English. Despite the evidence accrued over the last six decades in over 40 clinical articles and numerous other publications on ocular ...

Poly-l/dl-lactic acid films functionalized with collagen IV as carrier substrata for corneal epithelial stem cells [PDF]
Limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) are responsible for the renewal of corneal epithelium. Cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation is the current treatment of choice for restoring the loss or dysfunction of LESCs.

Conjunctival autograft in pterygium treatment.
Pterygium is characterized by the thickening of the bulbar conjunctiva and the invasion of the cornea from the sclerocorneal limbus to the central portion of the cornea. Pterygium produces corneal deformation, which extends toward the central portion of the cornea. The visual disorders depend on the corneal extent.

Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Study of Pterygium in Conjunctival - Limbal Autograft Transplantation [PDF]
Introduction: Progressive, gradual, non-malignant proliferation of fibro-vascular tissue, occurring due to repetitive limbal stem-cell irritation & neovascularization, is referred to as pterygium.
