| description | AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a newly designed silicone tube for the repair of canalicular lacerations.<p>METHODS: This was a prospective clinical study. Data were analyzed from 47 eyes of 47 patients presenting with traumatic canalicular laceration in our hospital from January 2013 to October 2015. The newly designed silicone tubes were inserted through the lacrimal punctum and left in the bicanaliculi for 3mo. Data of the lacrimal duct patency, epiphora, and eyelid shape were recorded.<p>RESULTS: Surgery was performed successfully in all cases. No complications associated with the silicone tubes occurred. In total, 41 patients(87.23%)achieved complete success, 4 patients(8.51%)achieved partial success, and 2 patients(4.26%)had surgical failure.<p>CONCLUSION: The newly designed silicone tube is an effective and atraumatic tool for the management of canalicular lacerations. The operation process is simple, and is easy to grasp for the surgeon. |
