Introduction To observe the short-term and long-term effects of extensive fascial resection combined with autologous limbal stem cell sharing transplantation for pterygium.
Methods A retrospective case series analysis was performed with 403 patients (420 eyes) who underwent extensive fascial resection combined with autologous limbal stem cell sharing transplantation in the Department of Ophthalmology, Second People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 2017 to June 2018. Before, and 10 days, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery, the tear film rupture time (BUT), the height of the tear river (SLT), and the anterior segment of the fluoroscopy staining were recorded to record the scar on the conjunctiva and corneal surface. Patient self-consciousness and satisfaction with the appearance of the survey.
Results BUT after surgery was prolonged than before operation, and there was no significant difference in tear height preoperative and postoperative. The postoperative follow-up period (6 months), the recurrence rate of pterygium was 0.21%.Patients have higher satisfaction with appearance, and have no obvious foreign body sensation, photophobia, tearing and other subjective symptoms.
Discussion and conclusion Extensive fascial resection combined with autologous limbal stem cell sharing transplantation for the treatment of pterygium, the patient's appearance satisfaction is higher, and the recurrence probability is lower than the average recurrence rate of limbal stem cell transplantation. The operation is simple and easy to learn. This is a surgical procedure worth promoting.
