Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
The study was conducted in District Hospital Baramulla from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2016. It was a post-operative interventional study. In this study, 100 eyes of 100 patients with primary nasal pterygium were operated, 65 males and 35 females. Simple excision under local anesthesia was performed followed by closure of bare sclera by sutureless and glue-free conjunctival autograft with adhesion enforced by mild cautery application between free edges. Follow-up period was 6 months. Recurrence occurred in 1 patient (1%), other complications include conjunctival chemosis in 11 (11%) patients, partial graft displacement in 2 (2%) patients, graft retraction from nasal side 3 (3%) patients, total graft displacement in 1 (1%) patient, overriding of graft on cornea (2%) patients, and granuloma in donor site in 1 (1%) patient.
