title: Split-conjunctival grafts for double-head pterygium.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the technique of split-conjunctival grafts (SCG) for double-head pterygia and to evaluate its postoperative outcome.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective analysis of seven eyes with primary double-head pterygium was done. All eyes received pterygium excision with split-conjunctival grafts harvested from the superior quadrant. All patients were followed up for recurrence of the lesion and incidence of complications.
  
  
  RESULTS
  No recurrence was noted with a mean follow-up of 17.7 +/- 6 months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Split-conjunctival graft is a useful procedure for double-head pterygium.
