Patients were divided into two groups according to whether their surgery was performed by a consultant ophthalmologist (group A) or a trainee ophthalmologist (group B). Data were collected with respect to demographics, surgical complications and recurrence. Recurrence rates were analysed utilizing Fisher’s exact test. Additionally, Kaplan–Meier survival curves for interval censored data were constructed. Surgical complications were analysed utilizing Fisher’s exact test.
Results:  The recurrence rate in group A was 6.8% and in group B was 19.4 …
