Abstract
Objective
To investigate the clinical effect of retrograde intubation of new Y type silicone tube inked lacrimal sac in the anastomosis of obsolete inferior lacrimal canalicular laceration.
Methods
The 24 eyes of 24 cases with obsolete inferior lacrimal canalicular laceration, who underwent operation of retrograde intubation of Y type silicone nasolacrimal stent canalicular tube via lacrimal sac were retrospectively viewed. The follow up time was 6-22 months.
Results
Eighteen patients (75.00%) were cured entirely, no epiphora 4 patients (16.67%) were meliorated, flushing of lacrimal duct less reflux and 2 patients (8.33%) had no effect.
Conclusion
The method of retrograde intubation of Y type silicone nasolacrimal canalicular stent via lacrimal sac is effective for obsolete inferior lacimal canalicular laceration.
