Use of conjunctival autograft of limbic cells was studied for surgical treatment of simple pterygium, as well as derived complications on use of this technique to improve pterygium recurrence. Technique of conjunctival autograft of limbic cells was applied in 144 patients presenting with simple pterygium with grade III and 10.1 invasion. Sixty eight percentage (68 %) was present in right eye, and 32 % in left eye. We had a successful surgery in 97.3 %, and only 2.7 % presenting with recurrence. More frequent complication was a granuloma treated with steroids for 3 months, and resolving in a spontaneous way.
