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

The Effect of Recurrent Pterygium on Corneal Topography

Cornea, 1994
Pterygium is known to cause corneal topographic changes that can result in decreased visual acuity. We present a case of recurrent pterygium causing blurred vision and diplopia, and document the corneal topographic changes, showing astigmatism of 15 diopters induced by lateral gaze, prior to surgical excision.

Lamellar Keratoplasty in the Management of Recurrent Pterygium

Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1986
ABSTRACT Our experience with excision and LK in ten cases of recurrent pterygia was reviewed. Although a recurrence occurred in three of ten cases, the new pterygia only partially involved the lamellar graft. Visual acuity improved in six cases. Lamellar keratoplasty following excision of recurrent pterygia seems to be a useful alternative in

Topical Cyclosporine A in the Prevention of Pterygium Recurrence

Ophthalmologica, 2008
<i>Aims:</i> To investigate the efficacy and safety of postoperative topical cyclosporine A 0.05% (tCsA) (Restasis®, Allergan Pharmaceutical) eye drops in preventing the recurrence of pterygium. <i>Methods:</i> 31 patients with bilateral pterygium were examined between January 2006 and February 2007.
