AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of horizontal versus vertical split conjunctival autograft techniques in treating double head pterygium.
- - A retrospective analysis was conducted on 96 eyes treated with the horizontal method and 99 eyes with the vertical method, focusing on recurrence rates and complications.
- - Results showed similar recurrence rates (5.2% for horizontal and 4% for vertical) and comparable complication rates, indicating both techniques are effective.
Article Abstract
Purpose: To compare horizontal and vertical split conjunctival autograft technique in the management of double head pterygium.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of 96 and 99 eyes with double head pterygia that underwent horizontal (Group 1) and vertical (Group 2) split conjunctival autografting, respectively. Comparison of recurrence rates and other complications was done.
Results: Recurrence was seen in 5.2% and 4% of the eyes in Groups 1 and 2, respectively (P > 0.05). Other complications like subconjunctival hemorrhage, graft edema, graft retraction, granuloma, and graft loss were also comparable among the two groups.
Conclusion: Both the techniques provide good results with comparable efficacy in terms of rates of recurrence and complication profiles.
