Nasolacrimal duct obstruction, silicone tube, dacryocystorhinostomy

Aim and Objective: To compare the outcome of external dacryocystorhinostomy surgery with and without silicone intubation. • Material and Methods: a hospital based prospective study in which 200 external DCR surgeries were done, of which 100 were with silicone tube intubation and 100 without silicone intubation. Follow up was done at one week, six weeks and six months after surgery. The surgical success was accepted as patency of the lacrimal passage with syringing. • Results: Among those treated with silicone intubation, only 4 patients (96% success rate) had recurrence of symptoms and non patent passage on syringing, whereas 11 patients (89% success rate) among those treated without silicone tube had non patent passage and recurrence of symptoms • Conclusion: Success rate was higher with silicone tube intubation the without silicone intubation, although the difference was not statistically significant.
