Recurrent pterygium treatment is a procedure performed to remove a pterygium, a benign growth of tissue on the cornea, that has grown back after initial removal. Pterygium can recur due to incomplete excision or insufficient healing. The goal of recurrent pterygium treatment is to remove the growth and prevent it from coming back.

The procedure involves excising the pterygium tissue and typically using techniques such as conjunctival autografting or amniotic membrane transplantation to cover the excised area. These techniques help prevent recurrence by promoting healthy healing and minimizing scar tissue formation.

Recurrent pterygium treatment provides effective, long-term relief for patients who have experienced multiple recurrences. Post-operative care is important to monitor for any signs of regrowth or complications.
