How Pterygium Excision with Conjunctival Autograft is performed
If applicable, healthy conjunctiva taken from the patient's own eye will be used as a graft. The surgery is usually performed under topical or local anesthesia, removing the pterygium tissue and smoothing the affected corneal conjunctival surface, then covering the defect area with the trimmed autologous conjunctiva, fixed with sutures or tissue glue, and completing irrigation and hemostasis. Early postoperative monitoring of pain, congestion, and graft position stability is performed, with the goal of reconstructing the ocular surface and improving irritation symptoms. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
