This type of surgery is very common in countries near the equator. Having "a lot of surgery" would be 3 to 5 procedures. The number that high has been much reduced by grafts and mitomycin. Doing the surgery earlier when small is usually better.

doctor,
does that mean pterygium wont re-occur after 3-5 surgeries max or does the surgeon give up after attempting 3-5 times as it may not be safe for the patient?
Thanks
It is not possible to generalize about this or to tell you what will happen with your condition. Your surgeon can give you a much better idea.
