Purpose : To evaluate timbal conjunctival autograft and mitomycin C
as two recent ways in management cases with recurrent pterygium
Methods : Twenty two cases of recurrent pterygium had previously
been treated by simple excision, are included in this study the first group-
A Fourteen eyes were treated by limal conjunctival autograft, and the second
group B eight eyes were treated by simple excision with intraoperative
application of mitomycin C 0.2 mg / ratfor 3 minutes
Results : The follow up period ranged from 6-12 months, two recurrences
were observed in the first group and one in the second group.
Conclusion : Both techniques are successful in management cases
with recurrent pterygium but longer follow up is necessary to determine
safety of mitomycin C. |
