Materials and methods: This study is an interventional non-randomized, non-equivalent control group design. Data of 40 patients in Conjunctival-Limbal Autograft (CLAG) group and 38 patients in CLAG-MTE group retrospectively reviewed. Patients of the both series were selected from whose surgeries were performed from February 2008 to January 2015. The recurrence rate of CLAG and CLAG-MTE was compared. And also, the limbal-conjunctival series of some studies which reported a high success rate on recurrence rate and Hirst's preliminary series were included in this comparison. Results: The recurrence rate was 5.1% (4 eyes) in the CLAG group and 0% in the CLAG-MTE group... View More»
