Background: To report the clinical features of surgically induced scleral staphyloma and investigate the management. Methods: Retrospective uncontrolled study. Results: A full ophthalmological evaluation of surgically induced scleral staphyloma in four patients was performed. The first patient was a 3-year-old young girl underwent corneal dermoid resection. The second patient was a 60-year-old man underwent nasal pterygium excision and conjunctival autograft without Mitomycin C (MMC). The other two were respectively a 74-year-old woman and a 69-year-old man underwent cataract surgery. All patients performed allogeneic sclera patch graft. In the at least half a year follow-up, the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of all the four patients were no worse than that of preoperative. Ocular symptoms disappeared, including eye pain, foreign body sensation, and so on. Unfortunately, the fourth patient showed sclera rejection and partial dissolution at postoperative 1 month.
