To investigate the therapeutic effects of the new operation program—pedicled corneal limbal stem cells autografting for treatment of pterygium,to approach the method to reduce postoperative recurrence rate. METHODS: Pterygium excision combined with pedicled corneal limbal stem cells autografting was performed on 28 cases (31 eyes) with primary pterygium or recurrent pterygium. The patients symptoms, wound healing and pterygium relapses were analysed during the follow-up of 8 to 24 months. RESULTS:Two of 31 eyes(6.5％）was found recurrent 2 months after operation. CONCLUSION:Pedicled corneal limbal stem cells autografting can decrease the recurrence rate of pterygium,which is an effective and safe treatment for primary and recurrent pterygium.
