 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Microsurgical excision of pterygium with corneal stem cell transplantation Abstract observe the various types of pterygium after microsurgical resection of the efficacy of corneal stem cell transplantation. Methods: The surgical microscope after radical resection of pterygium using corneal stem cell transplantation, joint ocular surface reconstruction, a total of 46 patients with treatment of various types of pterygium (57 eyes). Results: The postoperative follow-up 12 24 months, all patients does not appear obvious bulbar conjunctiva and corneal infiltration of fibrovascular proliferation, non-one cases of recurrence. Conclusion: under a microscope, a variety of pterygium excision, while transplants corneal stem cells, can achieve good effect. Keywords: pterygium corneal stem cell transplantation for ocular surface reconstruction [ABSTRACT] Objective: To investigate the effect of transplantation of limbal autograft following microsurgery for pterygium. Method: Fifty  seven eyes with pterygium were treated by transplantation of limbal autograft combined with modification of ocular reconstruction. Results: During a follow  up of 12 to 24 months, no recurrence and no sub  epithelial fibro  vascular proliferation were found and all achieved a radical cure. Conclusion: Transplantation of limbal autograft is an effective microsurgical treatment for pterygium. [KEY WORDS] Pterygium; Transplantation of limbal autograft; Ocular surface reconstruction of pterygium is an ophthalmologist common diseases, stem cell theory, the development of ocular surface reconstruction of continuous improvement, as well as in-depth study of the pathogenesis of pterygium for the radical wing-shaped pterygium provides a theoretical basis. In March 2002 in October 2005, we have applied microsurgical resection of pterygium with corneal stem cell transplantation in treatment of pterygium in 46 cases (57), will now report on the re
