ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine which technique (amniotic membrane or conjunctiva autograft) offers minor percentage of pterygium recurrence.
Method: A comparative prospective study was made in 56 patients divided in two groups, 30 with autograft and 26 with amniotic membrane graft with a follow up of 6 months.
Results: Of the 30 patients who underwent autograft, 4 patients (13%) had recurrence at the 8th week, whereas in the amniotic membrane graft group 3 patients (11%) recurred, being no statistically significant difference.
Conclusions: We conclude that the amniotic membrane graft technique offers practically the same advantages as the autograft, being the amniotic membrane graft easier to handle during the surgery.
