Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Ocular Surface Disease

Background:

  • Conjunctival prolapse is a potential complication following ocular and orbital procedures.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for patient recovery and preventing further issues.

Observation:

  • A retrospective case series of ten patients with postoperative conjunctival prolapse was analyzed.
  • The prolapsed conjunctiva was repositioned using jeweler's forceps and a gauze strip with petroleum jelly and antibiotic ointment.

Findings:

  • A simple, noninvasive technique involving repositioning and a double eye patch was employed.
  • Successful resolution of conjunctival prolapse was achieved in all ten patients within 48 hours.
  • No further complications were reported in any patient post-resolution.

Implications:

  • This technique offers an easy, efficient, and effective solution for managing conjunctival prolapse.
  • Ophthalmologists and surgeons should consider adopting this noninvasive approach.
  • The described method may improve outcomes for patients experiencing this surgical complication.
