Primary pterygium recurrence time.
Copyright policy )Primary pterygium recurrence time.
The time to recurrence after surgical removal of primary pterygium (pterygium) and the association between the rate of recurrence and the postoperative interval remain unclear.To determine the amount of follow-up time needed to identify recurrence in patients after surgical removal of pterygium.We reviewed the files of 143 patients (143 eyes) with recurrent pterygium to determine the interval from surgery to recurrence.Almost all (91.6%) of the recurrences appeared by 360 days after surgery.One year is the optimal follow-up time to identify recurrence of pterygium.
