Comparison of efficacy and safety of sutureless glue-free versus suture technique for autogenous conjunctivolimbal grafting in primary pterygium excision

To compare the efficacy and safety of sutureless glue-free versus suture technique for autogenous conjunctivolimbal grafting in primary pterygium excision. A prospective observational study was conducted thirty consecutive patients progressive after taking their informed written consent ethical clearance a tertiary eye care centre Northern India. Patients were randomly divided equally into group “A” “B” each constituting fifteen patients. Group underwent graft placement. Comparison both groups done terms intraoperative time, postoperative symptoms recurrence over period one year. Data compiled entered Microsoft Excel software SPSS version 21.0 used data analysis. The mean duration surgery 42 min 30 B respectively this difference found to be statistically significant (p=0.0001). On 1 day, pain foreign‐body sensation present 12 A, while only patient had these (p = 0.00014). Postoperative hyperaemia seen 8 6 which insignificant 0.564). Only two conjunctival chemosis no developed chemosis, 0.964). Subconjunctival haemorrhage 2 resolved 2-3 weeks. Conjunctivolimbal more stable it misplaced 1.000). related complication i.e granuloma. Over year follow up, pterygium. Sutureless is time saving, cost effective better surgical modality comparison conventional resection.
