Abstract. Purpose:To report the long-term outcome of surgery for pterygium with postoperative use of thiotepa. Cases and Method:This retrospective study was made on 160 eyes of 143 patients who received surgery for pterygium and who could be followed up for one year or longer. Surgical procedure involved simple resection of pterygium with extensive removal of subconjunctival tissue. After surgery, patients received topical instillation of thiotepa 4 times daily for an average of 20.2 days in addition to instillation of antibiotics and corticosteroid. Recurrence was defined as neovascularization into the cornea over the limbus. Results:Pterygium recurred in 4 eyes(2.5%), of which one eye needed another surgery. Complications due to thiotepa was absent throughout. No case showed scarring or hyperemia after surgery. Cosmetic outcome was also excellent. Conclusion:Instillation of thiotepa was effective in preventing recurrence after surgery for pterygium.
