Abstract

TREATMENT OF PTERYGIUM IS ESSENTIALLY SURGICAL EXCISION. HOWEVER, RECURRENCE AT THE SITE OF SURGERY IS THE MOST COMMON UNACCEPTABLE COMPLICATION. WITH CHANGING TIME, VARIOUS MODIFICATIONS IN SURGICAL TECHNIQUE HAVE BEEN TRIED WITH VARYING SUCCESS RATES. DURING THE PAST DECADE, THE DEBATE OVER THE BEST APPROACH TO PTERYGIUM SURGERY HAS CENTERED ON WHETHER TO USE SUTURES OR FIBRIN GLUE OR AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD TO AFFIX THE CONJUNCTIVAL GRAFT. THIS INSTRUCTION COURSE WILL COVER VARIOUS SURGICAL TECHNIQUES, GRAFT FIXATION PROCEDURES, ADJUNCTIVE MEASURES AND THE NEWLY EVOLVING TECHNIQUES IN ACHIEVING RECURRENCE – FREE PTERYGIUM SURGERY.
