- Abstract
Objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of amniotic membrane transplantation combined with the closure of the tenon capsule and bulbar conjunctival space. Methods. This study retrospectively included 100 patients with primary pterygium who received closed bulbar conjunctiva and tenon capsule space combined with amniotic membrane transplantation in our hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 as the experimental group and 100 patients with routine treatment in the same period as the control group. The postoperative efficacy evaluation and postoperative complications of the two groups were compared, so as to comprehensively evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this method. Results. The results showed that the postoperative complications of the two groups were significantly improved by Fisher's exact test (%2-14.510, P = 0.006 < 0.05). The comparison results showed that the treatment group showed significant advantages in six indexes compared with the observation group and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05) of in the NRS score, Prabhasawat score, inspection of the ocular surface comprehensive analyzer, corneal <uorescein staining, conjunctival <uorescein staining in the operation area, breakup time of tear film examination of the two groups at 3, 7 and 14 days, and 1, 6 and 12 months after the operation. Conclusions. Amniotic membrane transplantation combined with the closure of the tenon capsule and bulbar conjunctival space is safer than conventional surgery in the treatment of primary pterygium. It has a shorter recovery time, higher safety, and a positive curative effect. It can be considered to popularize this operation in clinic.
