Abstract
The authors present the method of surgical treatment of posttraumatic lower canaliculus interruption using intubation through upper lacrimal canaliculus. The lacrimal system was intubated through the upper lacrimal canaliculus with a silicone drainage system for 6 weeks. The results were estimated on a base of dacrocystography and scyntygraphy of lacrimal system after 6 month. The presented surgical treatment is both easy for a beginning surgeon and brings good functional results.
