AIM: To evaluate compliance rate to pterygium postoperative treatment with two different protocols.
METHODS: Review of clinical data of patients submitted to pterygium excision and conjunctival autografting in a single centre (and a single surgeon) in Barcelona between March 2014 and December 2017. Initial postoperative protocol (protocol 1) consisted of 4 months of topical steroids in a tapering fashion. Protocol 2 consisted of topical steroids tapered over 5 weeks. Compliance rate, complications and clinical outcomes were evaluated, and statistical comparisons were made.
RESULTS: 120 surgeries were performed in 99 patients. Protocol 1 was applied in 63 cases and the next 57 followed protocol 2. Compliance with protocol 1 (57.6%) was lower than with protocol 2 (84.9%) (p = 0.002). Intraoperative complications (graft tear, corneal thinning, corneal perforation and bleeding) were found in 10 cases of protocol 1 and three cases of protocol 2, p = 0.08. Postoperative complications (graft dislocation, graft haematoma, ocular hypertension and recurrence) were found in 31 cases of protocol 1 (46.2%) and eight cases of protocol 2 (14%), p = 0.001. Six weeks after surgery, ocular hypertension was detected in eight cases corresponding to protocol 1 (13.6%) and two cases of protocol 2 (3.8%), p = 0.099. Recurrence rate during first year was higher in protocol 1 (26.3%) compared to protocol 2 (7.6%), p = 0.011. No cases of visual acuity worsening or infection were registered.
CONCLUSION: Protocol 2 has shown to have higher compliance rate than protocol 1 and less postoperative complications, proving to be a safe and effective postoperative treatment after pterygium surgery.
