How many days after eye polyp surgery will you be discharged from the hospital?

Eye polyps mostly refer to pterygium. Generally, pterygium surgery is an outpatient surgery, and if the patient needs to be hospitalized for the surgery due to his condition, he will need to be discharged from the hospital in about a week or so. Pterygium surgery mainly consists of pterygium excision combined with amniotic membrane transplantation or corneal limbal stem cell transplantation, etc. The operation time is usually not very long, and patients with mild symptoms can even undergo outpatient surgery, i.e., they can leave the hospital after the operation on the same day. However, relatively speaking, hospitalized surgery is relatively low risk and safer. If a pterygium patient’s general condition is poor, inpatient surgery is feasible. If the patient’s physical condition is normal, he/she can be discharged from the hospital and take care of himself/herself at home. However, due to the difference in physical condition, the degree of recovery varies from person to person, but most of the patients usually need to be hospitalized for about a week before they can be discharged from the hospital. After pterygium surgery, patients are advised to follow the doctor’s instructions, have regular checkups, and consult the doctor when discomfort occurs.
