Methods: Forty-eight cases (48 eyes) with pterygium were randomly assigned to 3 groups:16 cases (16 eyes) with pterygium underwent simple excision (group A), 16 eyes underwent amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) (group B), and 16 eyes with pterygia underwent limbal- conjunctival transplantation (group C).Results: With follow-up of 3 months to 25 months, 5 cases (31%) of pterygia in group A and 1 case (6.2%) of pterygia in group B showed recurrence. No patients in group C developed recurrence. Conclusion: The recurrent rate of pterygium after amniotic membrane transplantation and limbal-conjunctival autograft transplantation were much lower, but the latter was more simple, safe and no rejection .So limbal - conjunctival autograft transplantation is the best surgery method for pterygium.展开更多

Methods： Six patients with large skin and soft tissue defects were included in this report. There were 5 trauma patients and the rest one needed to receive plastic surgery for his extremity scar. All wounds were in the upper extremity. The sizes of defects ranged from 15 cmx6 cm to 30 cmx 18 cm. Pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps were designed according to the defect area and raised with part of latissi- mus dorsi. The thoracodorsal artery and its perforators were carefully protected during surgery. Results： All flaps healed primarily without flap congestion, margin necrosis or infection. The skin donor sites either received split-thickness skin graft （3 cases, mostly from the anterior thigh） or was closed primarily （3 cases） and had minimal morbidity. Follow-up of 6-12 months showed that the contour of flap was aesthetic and the func- tion of limb was excellent. Conclusion： Our experience indicates that the pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is favorable for recon- struction of large skin and soft tissue defects in the upper extremity展开更多
