Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Purpose: To analyse the success rate and complications of primary intubation with silicon tube at 6months follow up of DCR in patients with lacrimal obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a prospective study, eighteen eyes of seventeen patients with NLDO underwent DCR with intubation after investigating and evaluation as per the predesigned proforma. Patients were re-assessed at 1 week, 1 month, 2 month, 4 & 6 month after surgery. Success rate defined objectively as patency on lacrimal syringing and subjectively by the absence of epiphora or discharge. Results: The success rate at 6 months was 94.4%. Complications were encountered like granuloma at the ostium and tube prolapse. Conclusion: To further improve the success rate,silicone intubation can be considered for the patients with chronic dacryocystitis with risk of failure.
