Summary

The treatment of pterygium is still quite controversial. Previous studies using a large incision for pterygium excision and a large graft and has reported a very low recurrence rate with the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. technique. However, the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. technique is a relatively lengthy procedure and may not be suitable for patient with limited conjunctival reserve. Thus, we try to evaluate the final outcome of a sutureless amniotic membrane transplant technique combining the extended pterygium excision in hope to avoid the complication of the P.E.R.F.E.C.T. for PTERYGIUM technique.
