Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the recovery outcomes of two surgical methods—limbal stem cell transplantation (LSCT) and amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT)—in patients undergoing primary pterygium excision.
- Results from 16 randomized controlled trials indicated that while AMT showed better tear film stability shortly after surgery, LSCT offered significant long-term benefits, including higher tear production and faster corneal healing.
- Overall, LSCT was associated with a lower recurrence rate and no notable differences in complication rates when compared to AMT, suggesting it may be the more effective option for postoperative recovery.
