Excision of the pterygium
The surgical procedure involved excision of the pterygium, including the fibrovascular head and associated conjunctival tissue, followed by bare sclera closure using an autologous conjunctival graft harvested from the superior bulbar conjunctiva. The graft was secured in place using either fibrin glue or 8-0 absorbable sutures. In Group B, 0.02% mitomycin C (MMC) was applied to the bare sclera for two minutes using a soaked sponge, followed by thorough irrigation with balanced salt solution.
Post-operative application of CsA
Patients received topical cyclosporin A (0.05%) twice daily for three months postoperatively.
Intra-operative application of MMC
0.02% mitomycin C (MMC) was applied to the bare sclera for two minutes using a soaked sponge, followed by thorough irrigation with balanced salt solution.
