Zusammenfassung
Die hohe Rezidiv-Neigung von Pterygien stellt ein generelles Problem dar. Postoperative Zusatzbehandlungen wie lokale Strontium 90 Bestrahlung und Thiotepa Augentropfen sind wegen ihrer Nebenwirkungen nicht unumstritten. Es werden die eigenen Ergebnisse einer prospektiven Studie an 70 Augen vorgestellt und diskutiert, die postoperativ 4mal täglich 0,04% Mitomycin C Augentropfen 14 Tage lang als Zusatztherapie erhielten. Damit konnte die frühere Rezidiv-Häufigkeit von 40% auf 1,5% gesenkt werden.
Summary
The high rate of recurrence is a general problem in treatment of pterygia. Postoperative strontium 90 radiation and topical Thioptepa eye drops are not undisputed due to their rate of complications. Herein our own experiences of a prospective study on 70 eyes are reported and discussed. All eyes got postoperatively 0,04% mitomycin C eye drops 4 times daily for 14 days. We could find a reduction of recurrence from 40% before to 1,5% thereafter.
