Abstract AR
دراسة تداخلية تمت في مستشفى الحكيم العام في النجف الأشرف شملت 25 مريض بظفرة العين الابتدائية الغرض منها تقييم نتائج زراعة الغشاء الجنيني لتغطية الصلبة العارية بعد عملية استئصال ظفرة العين جراحيا.
تمت متابعة المرضى لمدة تزيد عن 12 شهر و تم تحليل النتائج استنادا لنسب عودة الظفرة و الاختلاطات الأخرى 40% من المرضى أظهروا عودة الظفرة و تم معالجتها.
أظهرت الدراسة أن زراعة الغشاء الجنيني طريقة و فعالة و آمنة للتقليل من نسب عودة الظفرة بعد استئصالها جراحيا.
Abstract EN
Purpose : To evaluate the outcomes of primary pterygium excision with adjunctive amniotic membrane transplantation. Methods : In an interventional case series, 25 consecutive patients with primary pterygia underwent surgical excision with transplantation of fresh amniotic membrane onto bare sclera in Al-Hakeem general Hospital at Al Najaf city.
Patients were followed for at least 12 months and the results were evaluated in terms of recurrent pterygium growth and complications. Results : 25 of 25 consecutive patients including 14 male and 11 female subjects with mean age of 40 ± 8.8 years were operated.
The pterygia extended onto the corneas for 4.2 ± 1.2 (range 3 to 5.5) mm.
Only one eye (4 %) demonstrated recurrent pterygium growth.
Conclusion : Primary pterygium excision with amniotic membrane transplantation is safe and effective surgical technique with low recurrence rate.
