Abstract THE AIM This survey shows the results of the patients treated from pterygium by using surgery technique-avulsia pterygium with autotransplatation of conjuctiva bulbi. SETTING: Health Center Krusevac, Eye department, Serbia METHODS: Retrospective study of the patients treated from pterygium ( November 2007. to July 2011.) at the Eye Department in Krusevac. The analysis was made of postsurgery complications (six months after the surgery) as well as the whole survey of the achieved results. All patients were treated by the same technique-avulsia pterygium with autotransplatation of conjuctiva bulbi, observed by biomicroscope and were given the same therapy in postsurgery period. RESULTS: The number of patients treated was 109. They were 63 years old on the average.The youngest was 33 years old and the oldest was 86.There were 44 men (40,37 %) and 65 women (59.63%). Pterygium reccurences were found in 10 patients (9,17%). Other postsurgery comlications-graft edem almost always noticed in postsurgery period, a complete rejection of the graft in two patients (1,83%), half rejection of the graft in 6 patients (5,50%), dellen corneae in 7 (6,42%), the chronical redness in 4 (3,67%). CONCLUSION: Pterygium reccurence of 9,17% is directly associated with the very pathology of pterygium,familiarity with the surgery technique and successful non-surgery treatment of postsurgery complications. The achieved results are in compliance with the results of other research studies in the world. According to our experience,the postsurgery period is longer than when other methods are used. But, this technique is much safer, more effective and has more successful final results. Avulsia pterygium with autotransplatation of conjuctiva bulbi has become the standard method for this kind of eye disease at our department.
