Purpose: To evaluate the use of conjunctival autograft transplantation in the treatment of recurrent pterygium. Methods: Retrospective study of 36 patients (36 eyes), with recurrent pterygium, who underwent conjunctival autograft as a treatment option for recurrent pterygium. The minimal follow up was 6 months. Results: We observed a recurrency rate of 41.6%, 5.5% had loss of graft and 2.7% dehiscence. Conclusion: Conjunctival autograph is a safe procedure for recurrent pterygium, with few complications, although, the recurrence rate is still high in these patients.
