Introduction to Pterygium Removal Procedure 

Pterygium Excision Surgery is an ophthalmic procedure performed to remove a pterygium, a non-cancerous growth of tissue that extends from the conjunctiva onto the cornea. The surgery helps improve vision, reduce eye irritation, and prevent the growth from affecting the cornea further. It is commonly recommended when the pterygium causes discomfort, cosmetic concerns, or vision problems.

Safe Removal of Corneal Surface Growth with Ocular Surface Reconstruction

This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia using anesthetic eye drops with or without a local injection to ensure patient comfort. The eye and surrounding area are prepared with antiseptic solutions and covered using sterile Nivda Ophthalmic Drapes to establish a clean and contamination-free surgical field. The surgeon carefully separates and removes the pterygium from the cornea and conjunctiva using specialized microsurgical ophthalmic instruments. A conjunctival autograft or amniotic membrane graft is often placed over the exposed area and secured with fine sutures or tissue adhesive to reduce the risk of recurrence. Microsurgical techniques help preserve healthy ocular tissues while restoring the normal surface of the eye. After confirming graft stability and complete wound closure, sterile ophthalmic disposables are applied to protect the eye and support postoperative healing.
