CLINICAL OBSERVATION OF IMPROVED PROBING OF LACRIMAL PASSAGES IN TREATMENT OF NEONATAL DACRYOCYSTITIS

Le Xu

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects for treating neonatal dacryocystitis with improved probing of lacrimal passages. Methods: 209 cases(248 eyes) neonatal dacryocystitis were treated with improved probing of lacrimal passages; curative effects and complications were observed. Results: Among 209 cases(248 eyes), 240 eyes were cured only once, 6 eyes were cured at second time, and the cure rate was 99.19%(246/248). 4 eyes suffered cutaneous dropsy, and no serious complications occurred, such as stifl e and lacrimal duct tear. Conclusions: Treating neonatal dacryocystitis with improved probing of lacrimal passages has the advantages of simple surgical operation, short operative time, few complications and better curative effects.
