Clinical observation on 59 cases of lacrimal canaliculi laceration anatomosis

Abstract

AIM: To explore the effect of anastomosis surgery for lacrimal canaliculi laceration combined with circular tube implantation.METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 59 cases(59 eyes)from June 2018 to December 2018 with lower lacrimal canalicular laceration. The nasal cut end of lacerated lacrimal canaliculi was found under the microscope, the circular tube was implanted as a support. The tube was removed 3mo after the surgery. All the patients were followed additional 3mo. The therapeutic effect and complications were observed.RESULTS: All patients were successfully operated. 46 cases(46 eyes)were cured, 5 cases(5 eyes)were improved, 8 cases(8 eyes)had no effect. The overall successful rate was 86%(51/59). No serious complications and eyelid deformity were found.CONCLUSION: The anastomosis surgery combined with circular tube implantation is an effective treatment for the lacrimal canaliculi laceration.
