CAG after Pterygium Excision
Intraoperative mitomycin C (0.02%) will be applied for 5 minutes after pterygium excision. The conjunctival defect will be left bare without graft.
Amniotic membrane transplantation will be applied to cover the conjunctival defect after pterygium excision. No mitomycin C will be applied.
A conjunctival autograft will be harvested from the superior side of the operating eye's bulbar conjunctiva. Then the graft will be sutured to cover the conjunctival defect after pterygium excision. No mitomycin C will be applied.
