Recurrence of pterygium after surgery typically appears within one year. This study suggests a 360-day follow-up period is optimal for identifying pterygium recurrence post-surgery.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Surgical Outcomes

Background:

Pterygium recurrence after surgical excision is a common concern.
The optimal postoperative follow-up interval to detect pterygium recurrence remains undefined.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish the necessary follow-up duration for identifying pterygium recurrence post-surgical intervention.
To analyze the temporal pattern of pterygium recurrence following primary surgical removal.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 143 patient files with recurrent pterygium.
Analysis of the time interval between pterygium surgery and recurrence.

Main Results:

A significant majority (91.6%) of pterygium recurrences were observed within 360 days post-surgery.

The data indicates a clear trend of recurrence within the first year.

Conclusions:

A one-year postoperative follow-up is recommended for effective monitoring of pterygium recurrence.
This follow-up period allows for timely detection and potential management of recurrent pterygium.
