Lamellar Keratoplasty for Recurrent Pterygium

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1976
SUMMARY Lamellar corneoscleral keratoplasty technique for recurrent pterygium is described. The importance of accurate placement of the graft and its usefulness as a tissue barrier to regrowth of the pterygium is postulated. In fifteen eyes with severe recurrent pterygium followed from six months to four years, there have been no further ...

Protracted Ruthenium Treatment of Recurrent Pterygium

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1992
By combining excision with 106ruthenium irradiation in 17 patients previously operated on for persistently recurrent pterygium, we have devised an effective therapy that produces virtually no side effects and further prevents events recurrence. The ruthenium applicator shell was left in place for 2-3 h, yielding a total dosage of 2000 cGy. Only 2 of 17

Comparison of surgical techniques for recurrent pterygium

Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023
Although conjunctival autograft (CAU) and amniotic membrane grafting (AMG) with mitomycin-C (MMC) are most effective for the treatment of primary pterygium, the optimal surgical treatment of recurrent pterygium is not well established. We thus aimed to examine recurrence rates after recurrent pterygium excision surgery performed with CAU or AMG with or

SURGICAL TREATMENT OF RECURRENT PTERYGIUM

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1949
PRIOR to World War II recurrent pterygium had been a matter of little concern to most ophthalmologists in the United States. The few patients with primary pterygium who consulted the individual surgeon were handled with satisfaction to both the patient and the physician. Many ophthalmologists had seen no procedure other than McReynolds' transplantation

Limbal-Conjunctival Autograft Transplantation for Recurrent Pterygium

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2002
Purpose To assess the usefulness of limbal-conjunctival autograft transplantation (LCAT) for the treatment of recurrent pterygium. Patients and Methods Seventeen eyes with advanced recurrent pterygium underwent LCAT. All had already been treated at least twice either by simple excision (n=15) or by conjunctival rotation autograft (n=2).

Corneoscleral Lamellar Transplant for Recurrent Pterygium

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1971
The recurrent pterygium and repeated surgical operations destroy the normal Bowman's membrane which acts as a barrier to the ingrowth of conjunctival tissues. The insertion of a lamellar corneoscleral graft in the area of involvement seems to be a logical approach. Measurements are made on both the recipient and donor eye using the limbus as a point of
