Comparison of lntralesional Triamcinolone Acetonide lnjection and lncision & curettage in Management of Chalazion.
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of incision and cure versus intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injection in the treatment of chalazion.
Material & Methods: Total 248 instances of Chalazion (124 cases in each group) was taken as per inclusion Criteria. Group A undergone intralesional lriamcinolone injection and group B went through lncision& Curettage procedures. A single surgeon did all procedures. In intralesional triamcinolone injection, 0.1- 0.2 ml, TA (40mg/ml) was injected into the Chalazion by everting the lid under aseptic measures Using Topical Anaesthesia. During the lignocaine sensitivity examination which involved infiltrating the eyelid with 2% lignocaine utilizing a 26-gauge syringe and a 2cc syringe, I&C was executed under sterile settings.
Results: Total male patients enrolled in study were 74 with mean age of 24 ± 14 SD. Female patients were 50 with mean age of 28 ± 14 SD. Similarly in group B 58 patients male mean age of 22 ± 14 SD. Females were 66 with mean age of 26±14. Success rate of both the procedure was found more or less 0.446 which was statistically insignificant. Thus, it proved that intralesional injection of triamcinolone Acetonide is just as efficient at resolving chalazion as incisional curretage.
Conclusion: Intralesional triamcinolone is effective Incision & curretage in resolution of chalazion. Those who do not want to undergo surgical intervention for chalazion can still get benefits from intralesional triamcinolone
