ARAGONES CRUZ, Belmary. Use of membrane amniotic radio sterilized in pterigium surgery. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.19, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

Introduction: The pterigium surgery, without continuous recurrences, continues being a dilemma because the ideal technique is still ignored for the primary and recurrent pterigium. The amniotic membrane technique has gone through several moments in its development. The key to its use lies in preservation procedures. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implant of radio sterilized amniotic membrane as a surgical therapy after the removal of the primary and recurrent pterigium
