Summary

Conjunctival autografting is a safe and effective pterygium surgery treatment, comparable to other therapies but with fewer risks. Newer techniques and adjuncts like amniotic membrane improve ocular surface disease management.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Ocular Surface Disease

Background:

  • Conjunctival transplantation, first described by Thoft in 1977, is a key procedure for ocular surface reconstruction.
  • Conjunctival autografting is a widely adopted and validated surgical technique for pterygium management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the efficacy and safety of conjunctival autografting in pterygium surgery.
  • To discuss advancements in ocular surface transplantation, including limbal stem cell procedures and adjunct therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of randomized controlled trials and literature on conjunctival autografting.
  • Analysis of recent modifications like conjunctival rotation autografts and transposition flaps.
  • Evaluation of newer techniques such as limbal autograft and allograft transplantation.

Main Results:

  • Conjunctival autografting demonstrates efficacy comparable to beta-irradiation and mitomycin C but with a superior safety profile.
  • Modified techniques and adjunct therapies, including human amniotic membrane, show promise in improving outcomes for ocular surface disease.

Conclusions:

  • Conjunctival autografting remains a safe and effective treatment for pterygium, with ongoing innovations enhancing ocular surface restoration.
  • Management of ocular surface disease continues to evolve with advancements in transplantation techniques and supportive therapies.
