Purpose: To compare the results of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) combined with mitomycin C (MMC) to the results of free conjunctival autograft (CA) combined with MMC for the treatment of patients with recurrent pterygium.
Methods: In this prospective study, 60 eyes of 55 patients with recurrent pterygium were included and randomly assigned into group I (n = 30) who underwent AMT combined with MMC (AMT-MMC) and group II (n = 30) who underwent CA combined with MMC (CA-MMC). During a mean follow-up of 27.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in management of corneal and conjunctival diseases in large clinical series.
Methods: 130 patients who had undergone AMT between February 2004-March 2011 were evaluated. The cases were selected from two main groups: corneal (105) and conjunctival disorders (25).
A 53-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital one year after the onset of her complaints. She suffered from epiphora and swelling in the lacrimal sac region. Biopsy revealed islets of classical basal cell carcinoma with peripheral formation of palisades within a hyperemic stroma.

Materials And Methods: Forty-nine eyes of 49 subjects (30 primary, 19 recurrent pterygium) were included in this study. Combined with excision, 25 eyes (18 primary, 7 recurrent pterygium) were treated with conjunctival autografts (Group 1), and 16 eyes (12 primary, 4 recurrent pterygium) were treated with amniotic membrane transplantation for the closure of the defect (Group 2).
