梁春, 魏健

Abstract

Objective To observe the intraoperative techniques of artificial nasolacrimal duct and evaluate the effectiveness.Method Forty-nine cases(56 eyes) ofchronic dacryocystitis underwent artificial nasolacrimal duct placement.The artificial nasolacrimal duct was dilated and the stent was retrogradely placed.Dacryocystography was performed before operation.Results Artificial nasolacrimal duct placement was technically successful in 53 eyes(94.64％),improvement rate was 3.57 ％ (2/56).The total effective rate was 98.21％(55/56) after operation.Conclusion Interventional artificial nasolacrimal duct placement is a safe,simple and effective method for the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis. Key words: Dacryocystitis; Nasolacrimal duct; Artificial nasolacrimal duct placement
