Xenoplasty in Pterygium
Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of xenotransplantation in surgical treatment of pterygium.
Material and methods. The study included 35 patients with grade II–V pterygium. All patients were operated on using a xenograft without suture fixation. The technique is simple to perform: the head and body of the pterygium were separated from the cornea, limbus, sclera, then strips of xenograft were placed in place of the excised body of the pterygium without suture fixation.
Results. Xenoplasty made it possible to optimize the operation and reduce the scope of surgical intervention. The use of xenograft in surgery of primary and recurrent pterygium grades II–V prevents relapse by creating a barrier for repeated pterygium growth.
Conclusion. Optical coherence tomography allows objective assessment of the cornea condition in the pre- and postoperative period.
