Full description
Prospective Randomized Blind Clinical Trial
Sixty-four eyes of 64 patients with primary nasal pterygium have been operated by two surgeons (E. G-H, A. N-C). All patients are randomized to undergo Mini-SLET or limbal-conjunctival autograft transplantation as an adjuvant therapy after pterygium excision.
Four eyes were treated with Mini-SLET(group 1), and 26 eyes have been operated with conjunctival autograft (group 2). Patients will be followed up at 1 day, 1 week, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months postoperation. The main outcome measurement was a recurrence rate after surgery.
