Abstract
To evaluate and compare the effectiveness and safety of the human amniotic membrane graft with intraoperative application of Mitomycin C in primary pterygium surgery.In 60 consecutive patients, 60 eyes were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, primary pterygium excision with intraoperative Mitomycin C (0.2 mg/ml) were applied to the 30 patients and amniotic membrane grafts were applied to the other 30 patients.Recurrence was detected in two patients (%6.66) who received amniotic membrane grafts, and in five patients (%16.66) who received primary pterygium excision with intraoperative Mitomycin C. No statistical difference was observed between groups according to the reccurence (p > 0.05). Suture lysis in early postoperative period was detected in one patient (%3.33) who received amniotic membrane grafts. Scleral melting was developed in one patient (%3.33) and punctate epitheliopathy was developed in one patient (%3.33) who received primary pterygium excision with intraoperative Mitomycin C. No statistical difference was observed between groups according to the complications (p > 0.05).Although no statistical difference was observed between two groups according to complication and reccurence, amniotic membrane graft method was safer than primary pterygium excision with intraoperative Mitomycin C.
