Initial postoperative protocol (protocol 1) consisted of 4\u2009months of topical steroids in a tapering fashion. Protocol 2 consisted of topical steroids tapered over 5\u2009weeks. Compliance rate, complications and clinical outcomes were evaluated, and statistical comparisons were made.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>120 surgeries were performed in 99 patients. Protocol 1 was applied in 63 cases and the next 57 followed protocol 2. Compliance with protocol 1 (57.6%) was lower than with protocol 2 (84.9%) (p\u2009=\u20090.002). Intraoperative complications (graft tear, corneal thinning, corneal perforation and bleeding) were found in 10 cases of protocol 1 and three cases of protocol 2, p\u2009=\u20090.08. Postoperative complications (graft dislocation, graft haematoma, ocular hypertension and recurrence) were found in 31 cases of protocol 1 (46.2%) and eight cases of protocol 2 (14%), p\u2009=\u20090.001. Six weeks after surgery, ocular hypertension was detected in eight cases corresponding to protocol 1 (13.6%) and two cases of protocol 2 (3.8%), p\u2009=\u20090.099. Recurrence rate during first year was higher in protocol 1 (26.3%) compared to protocol 2 (7.6%), p\u2009=\u20090.011. No cases of visual acuity worsening or infection were registered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n
