Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

Pterygium is hypothesized to stem from limbal stem cell dysfunction.
Conjunctival-limbal autograft (CLA) is a proposed treatment for pterygium.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of the conjunctival-limbal autograft procedure.
To assess outcomes in patients with primary and recurrent pterygium.

Main Methods:

32 eyes of 28 patients with primary (24) or recurrent (8) pterygium underwent CLA.
Procedures were performed under peribulbar anesthesia.
Postoperative care included topical antibiotics and steroids for two weeks, with follow-up from 6 to 18 months.

Main Results:

No pterygium recurrence was observed in any of the treated eyes.
No major postoperative complications were reported.

Conclusions:

Conjunctival-limbal autograft is a highly effective treatment for pterygium.
CLA is the preferred surgical option for both primary and recurrent pterygium.
