[Local mitomycin C therapy after excision of pterygium].
In order to prevent recurrence of pterygium after excision we treated 21 patients postoperatively with Mitomycin-C-eye drops 0.02%. In a mean follow up of 1 1/2 years, we have not seen any recurrence or side effect. We conclude, Mitomycin-C 0.02% is a safe, simple and effective treatment to prevent recurrence of pterygium and we suggest to continue for a further experience.
