Pterygium Excision with Sutureless Glueless Conjunctival Limbal Autograft for Management of Primary Pterygium in Rural Population Under Subconjunctival Anaesthesia

Abstract

When fibrovascular tissue grows abnormally in bulbar conjunctiva and is getting spread over cornea in a chronic manner, the resultant is pterygium. The reason why this pterygium is happening are many but broadly can be categorized into hereditary and due to the environment where the person is residing. Various techniques have been developed for pterygium excision with variable success rates. Pterygium excision with conjunctival limbal autograft under sub-conjunctival anesthesia with no glue and no suture technique has exhibited good results minimizing the complications associated with peribulbar/ retrobulbar block, suture and glue
