About Pterygium Excision + Conjunctival Autograft
Pterygium excision removes a fleshy growth that extends from the white of the eye onto the cornea. A conjunctival autograft, a small piece of your own tissue, is placed over the area to lower the chance of regrowth.
The surgery is a day case under local anaesthesia. The surgeon carefully lifts and removes the pterygium from the cornea and conjunctiva, then takes a small graft of healthy conjunctiva from under the upper eyelid. The graft is fixed over the bare area with fibrin glue or fine stitches, and the eye is covered with a patch.
Usually a good fit if
- Pterygium encroaching on the cornea and affecting vision.
- Persistent irritation, redness or recurrent inflammation.
- Astigmatism or visual distortion caused by the growth.
- Cosmetic concerns after discussion with your surgeon.
May need to wait if
- Small pterygia that are not growing, where observation may do.
- Active eye infection.
- Severe dry eye, which should be treated first.
- Bleeding tendency not yet managed by your doctor.
How to prepare
- Bring your eye history, including previous pterygium surgery or glaucoma.
- Review medicines, especially blood thinners, with your doctor; do not stop them yourself.
- Ask whether glue or stitches will be used, and about the recovery.
- Arrange transport; the eye will be patched.
- Plan to avoid dust, wind and sunlight afterwards.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Will you use a graft, and with stitches or glue?
- How often does the pterygium return after your technique?
- Will mitomycin C be used, and what are its risks?
- How long will my eye be red and irritated?
- How will I protect the eye from sun and dust afterwards?
- When should I be checked for regrowth?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Excision with no graft, which has a high regrowth rate.
- No discussion of recurrence.
- Using chemicals such as mitomycin without explaining risks.
- No follow-up for regrowth.
