Systemic Absorption of Mitomycin-C When Used in Pterygium Surgery

Conclusions:
In this study of 27 patients treated with topical application of MMC for pterygium surgery, there was no measurable evidence of systemic drug absorption. Although systemic absorption has been found with the use of larger quantities of MMC, there is an extremely low likelihood of systemic absorption or toxicity of MMC after pterygium surgery.
