Abstract

Objective: To discuss the effects of corneal limbus autografting on recurrent pterygium. Methods: Autografting of limbus stem cells were adopted in 22 cases of 23 eye with recurrent pterygium. The postoperative follow-up periods ranged from 6-12 months. Results: All the grafts survived. No immunological rejection occurred. Recurrences occurred in 1 eye in the follow-up period time. Conclusion: Autografting of corneal limbus stem cells might be a simple, safe and effective surgery for recurrent pterygium.
