Abstract

Aim of the Study: Evaluation of sutureless glueless conjunctival autograft in pterygium surgery.
Patients and Methods: This study is a prospective, non-comparative, interventional study included 
30 eyes having pterygia requiring surgical excision. The study was carried out at the department of 
ophthalmology at Minia university hospital from January 2018 to October 2018. All cases had been 
operated with conjunctival autografts taken from superior bulbar conjunctiva. Grafts were fixed using 
patients own blood clot as tissue adhesive which oozed in the bare sclera after pterygium excision.
The patients were followed up post operatively after 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, 3 weeks, 6 weeks,3 
months and 6 months. Results: After 6 months follow up, neither symblepharon formation nor 
motility restriction or pyogenic granuloma were reported. Only one case of recurrence was reported.
Conclusion: Sutureless andglueless conjunctival limbal autograft following pterygium excision is 
safe, easy, effective and economic technique in both primary and recurrent pterygium surgery.
