Forty-one eyes underwent conjunctival autograft transplantation without mitomycin C between March 1999 and December 2001 and 49 eyes with pterygium received conjunctival mini-flap without mitomycin C by the same surgeon between January 2002 and February 2004. The main outcome measurement was postoperative recurrence. <b>Results:<\/b> The recurrence rate in those with primary pterygium was 4.7% (2 of 43) in the mini-flap group and 17.6% (6 of 34) in the conjunctival autograft group. In the patients with recurrent pterygium, recurrence was observed in 1 of 6 cases (16.7%) in the mini-flap group and 1 of 7 cases (14.3%) in the conjunctival autograft group. Overall, the conjunctival mini-flap group without use of mitomycin C had a significantly lower rate of recurrence (6.1%) than the conjunctival autograft transplantation group without mitomycin C (17.1%) (p = 0.042). <b>Conclusion:<\/b> The mini-flap technique without use of mitomycin C in pterygium surgery is safe and effective in reducing the postoperative recurrence of primary pterygium compared to the conjunctival autograft technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000137670","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,9]],"date-time":"2008-06-09T06:11:19Z","timestamp":1212991879000},"page":"265-271","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Comparison of Mini-Flap Technique and Conjunctival Autograft Transplantation without Mitomycin C in Primary and Recurrent Pterygium"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"222","author":[{"given":"Min","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"So Hyang","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jae Hwan","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyung Keun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyoung Yul","family":"Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,6,9]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref1","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1442-9071.1991.tb00661.x"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref2","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.56.2.120"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref3","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-200308000-00007"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref4","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-200103000-00012"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref5","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0161-6420%2899%2990445-1"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref6","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-199010000-00011"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref7","DOI":"10.1016%2F0002-9394%2888%2990613-7"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref8","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ophtha.2006.02.026"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref9","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.2006.095018"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref10","DOI":"10.1038%2Fsj.eye.6702453"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref11","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.82.3.235"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref12","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.ico.0000116522.57227.97"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref13","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-200110000-00006"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref14","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.80.4.288"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref15","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.ico.0000160971.96447.9e"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref16","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.77.11.698"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref17","DOI":"10.1038%2Fsj.eye.6701728"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref18","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.79.5.439"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref19","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.67.9.604"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref20","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1755-3768.1994.tb04688.x"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref21","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.2003.039891"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref22","DOI":"10.1038%2Feye.1989.22"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref23","DOI":"10.1097%2F00003226-200203000-00022"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref24","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.86.3.357"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref25","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.84.9.1075h"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref26","DOI":"10.1159%2F000310424"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref27","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.84.9.973"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref28","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.ophtha.2004.02.007"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"ref29","DOI":"10.1136%2Fbjo.82.6.661"}],"container-title":["Ophthalmologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/137670","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/137670","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T01:46:12Z","timestamp":1745459172000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000137670"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008]]},"references-count":29,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,8,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000137670","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-3755","1423-0267"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0030-3755"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1423-0267"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008]]}}}
