Doubts about Pterygium

Posted By Pedro Alberto Oliveira on April 09, 1999 at 13:50:44:







I have some questions regarding the disease known as Pterygium and I would appreciate any help. I know Pterygium is not common in the USA, but I understand there are a few cases  in the south.
The questions are:
1- How many surgery techniques exist to Pterigyum treatment and how different are each of them?
2- What are the risks undertaken by patients submitted to pterygium removal surgery? What is the rate of recurrence of the removed Pterigyum?
3- There are, to your knowledge, risks to patients such as infections or any other risks?
4- Is there any pos-surgery care to be undertaken by the patient?
Thank you very much for your attention. Any help is appreciated.
