What type of pterygium surgery do you do there at your office?  Is it the bare sclera or graft surgery with or without stitches?  Thanks.

The most popular and successful procedure is generally done in an operating room with a graft with glue or sutures.

I agree with your assessment from the research I have done on the subject, and am looking for an office that does the pterygium surgery with a graft with glue or sutures, but have been unable to find an office that does it close to Northwest Arkansas.  Do you have any suggestions for me?
