PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of postoperative instillation of Mitomycin C eye drops in patients with recurrent pterygium.
METHODS: Between October 1993 and November 1994, we operated 12 patients with recurrent pterygium using the conjunctival autografting technique, and after the operation patients instilled 0.02% or 0.04% Mitomycin C eye drops two or four times a day for one or two weeks.
RESULTS: Early complications were 2 wound dehiscences, 7 corneal epithelial defects, 5 reported eye discomforts and 2 glaucoma. Late, there were 2 recurrences of pterygium after 6 and 9 months, one simplex glaucoma, one cataract and one alopecia areata.
CONCLUSIONS: In cases of aggressive or severe pterygia, postoperative use of Mitomycin C eye-drops appears to be safe, effective and acceptable, but good surgical technique, careful observation and a long follow-up is indispensable for these patients.
