Forty-two patients with symptomatic CCh refractory to medical management were included on this study. Twenty-two patients (n \u200a=\u200a 32, eyes; n \u200a=\u200a 14 women and n \u200a=\u200a 8 men) underwent the new electrocoagulation procedure (Group I). Twenty patients (n \u200a=\u200a 27 eyes; n \u200a=\u200a 11 women and n \u200a=\u200a 9 men) underwent crescent-shaped conjunctiva resection (Group II). Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) was used to evaluate ocular symptoms. There was a significant difference in mean and SD operation time between Group I (8.67 \u00b1 2.07\u00a0minutes) and Group II (20.45 \u00b1 3.98\u00a0minutes; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001). OSDI scores (mean \u00b1 SD) were significantly lower in Group I (28.38 \u00b1 3.14) than Group II (31.62 \u00b1 3.17) at postoperative week 2 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a 0.0004). No differences in OSDI scores were found between the 2 groups at postoperative week 4 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a 0.1749) or 8 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a 0.1483). OSDI scores were significantly lower at postoperative week 8 than at baseline in both Group I (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a 0.0002) and Group II (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> \u200a=\u200a 0.0011). Electrocoagulation of the conjunctiva can successfully treat symptomatic CCh with earlier symptomatic attenuation and less operation time than traditional conjunctiva resection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9738\/cc59.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,25]],"date-time":"2012-10-25T15:57:41Z","timestamp":1351180661000},"page":"90-93","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Electrocoagulative Surgical Procedure for Treatment of Conjunctivochalasis"],"prefix":"10.9738","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Xing-Ru","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Putuo Hospital, Shanghai Chinese Traditional Medicine University, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhen-Yong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Putuo Hospital, Shanghai Chinese Traditional Medicine University, Shanghai, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew R","family":"Hoffman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"4721","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"i0020-8868-97-1-90-Hughes1","series-title":"Am J Ophthalmol","first-page":"48","article-title":"Conjunctivochalasis.","volume":"25","author":"Hughes, WL","year":"1942","unstructured":"Hughes, WL\n          .
