| Abstract |
|
A retrospective review was done on 15 eyes of consecutive patients who presented to the Asan Medical Center with scleronecrosis between January 1993 and June 1996 was studies. Ten eyes were managed by autologous conjunctival graft(group 1) and others by autologous conjunctiva/tenon graft(group 2), followed over 9 months, and the outcome evaluated included symptoms and complications. All patients had scleronecrois size less than 3mm in diameter with foreign body sensation, tearing, and pain etc. In both group, the symptoms were improved after surgery. The complications were that first group was slippage of donor tissue in graft site in two eyes and focal hyperemia in all cases. Management of slippage was sucessfully performed by reoperation; focal hyperemia was gradually improved no other specific management. These results indicate that autologus conjunctiva and autologous conjunctiva/tenon graft may be effective for the treatment of small scleronecrosis. |
