@hifromtainan Why is it so expensive? Isn't Fibrin Glue basically Platelet Poor Plasma mixed with Thrombin and Calcium Chloride?

It's expensive, indeed. Yet, it can be divided into, say, 5 doses in a sterile fashion for 5 patients who are scheduled to be operated on the same day.

The major advantages of fibrin glue are (1) time-saving and (2) much comfortable to the patient; however, it's expensive.
Those who are younger, say <60 years old, or the morphology of pterygium looks fleshy will have a high risk of recuurence after simple excision. Since SpiderRios has undergone surgery for ~2 years, I think he/or she may consider to do the reoperation with autografting. Just consult your doc or ophthalmologists who are specialized in doing the autografting.

Pterygium is characterized for its high recurrence rate after excision, particularly if no adjuvant therapy has been used during surgery. In my belief, the best adjuvant therapy is doing conjunctival autografting in combination with excision. To secure the autograft, it seems that fibrin glue is better than suture according to the recent literature.
