To determine the results with a Medpor-coated tear drain in conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy.
This was a retrospective case review of all patients who underwent conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy with a Medpor-coated tear drain by the author. The success rate and complications were determined.
Sixteen patients had placement of 17 Medpor-coated tear drains. Twelve of the 16 patients (75%) were doing well at the last follow-up visit with a well-positioned, functioning tear drain tube. Four patients (25%) required tube removal for assorted reasons, 2 of whom had an early prototype of the tube.
The Medpor-coated tear drain is an effective device for bypass of the lacrimal drainage system in conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy. The current design of the tube should minimize complications while ensuring stable placement and retention.
确定在结膜囊鼻腔吻合术中使用 Medpor 涂层泪道引流管的结果。
这是一项由作者进行的回顾性病例研究，研究对象为所有接受结膜囊鼻腔吻合术并使用 Medpor 涂层泪道引流管的患者。确定了成功率和并发症。
16 名患者中有 17 名患者放置了 Medpor 涂层泪道引流管。在最后一次随访时，16 名患者中有 12 名（75%）情况良好，泪道引流管位置良好，功能正常。4 名患者（25%）因各种原因需要取出引流管，其中 2 名患者使用的是早期原型管。
Medpor 涂层泪道引流管是一种有效的泪道旁路装置，可用于结膜囊鼻腔吻合术。目前的管设计应尽量减少并发症，同时确保稳定的位置和保留。
