METHOD FOR SURGICAL TREATMENT OF RECURRENT PTERYGIUM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61F9/00 A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, specifically to ophthalmology. For surgical treatment of a recurrent pterygium, a pterygium is separated, separated tissue is incised, donor graft is exsected a shape and size of which correspond to a formed bed, and the prepared bed is closed by the donor graft with its subsequent suture fixation. Pterygium is separated with subjacent opaque corneal layers with a capture of 0.5–1.0 mm of limbal tissue, and the donor graft is exsected from cornea with capture of 0.5–1.0 mm of limbal tissue. Donor graft after placement in the formed bed on the recipient's eye is fixed first with nodal sutures with 8/0 silk at two extreme points to the limbus, then a continuous suture or separate nodal sutures are applied with 10/0 nylon to the corneal margin of the graft, and then several separate nodal sutures are applied with 8/0 silk to the limb edge of the graft.

EFFECT: method helps to prevent the recurrence of pterygium, restore cornea transparency and increase visual acuity by using a donor graft and preservation of a limbal structure.
