Long-Term Results of Bare Sclera, Limbal-Conjunctival Autograft and Amniotic Membrane Graft Techniques in Primary Pterygium Excisions

Abstract

LCAT was found to be a more effective procedure than BST and AMGT, with decreased recurrence rates after pterygium excision. Limbal-conjunctival autograft seems to be a useful treatment in pterygium surgery due to higher success rates and lower recurrence rates. Amniotic membrane grafts may be an alternative surgical technique for pterygium treatment for patients with or without glaucoma who might need glaucoma surgery in the future.
