How Excision + Amniotic Membrane Transplantation is performed
If applicable, amniotic membrane that has been processed and preserved in compliance will be used as a covering material. The surgery usually involves removing the pterygium under topical or local anesthesia and treating the affected corneal conjunctiva, measuring and trimming the amniotic membrane to cover the defect area, fixing it with sutures or tissue glue, and completing irrigation and protection. Postoperative attention is paid to pain, epithelial growth, and graft adhesion stability, 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.
