A study on stability of conjunctivo limbal autograft with autologous serum in pterygium excision surgery

Abstract

Pterygium surgery has evolved a lot with newer technigues to help create better postoperative outcomes, to make the surgery time less consuming, to have fewer complications and to provide more better postoperative comfort to the patient. Our study is based on one of this new techniques of Conjuctivo Limbal Autograft with autologous serum which is comparatively less time consuming compared to its is precedessors and is a sutureless and glueless technique. The aim of the study is to find the safety, efficacy and relation of stability of intraoperative grafts (graft fixation)with their postoperative outcomes. We found that intra operative stable grafts to provide good results postoperatively having major displacement of only 1.15%.thus making this technique a faster, stable and economical technique for the patients and the doctors.
