The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive and clinically relevant review of the lacrimal drainage anatomy in the Japanese population.
A thorough search on the lacrimal drainage anatomy in the Japanese population was performed using PubMed and Ichushi Web, which is managed by the Japan Medical Abstracts Society, for related studies up to December 2018. Published books on the same topic were also reviewed. Data from all articles and book chapters were reviewed, analyzed, and incorporated in this review.
This review presents the subparts of the lacrimal drainage anatomy in a chronological manner, from proximal to distal. The location, dimensions, position or angle, histology (with some reference to the essential clinical functions and physiology of the lacrimal drainage system) are described in this review.
Understanding lacrimal drainage anatomy in the Japanese population is essential to provide insight as to how it is important to consider patients as individuals, with unique and specific anatomies, and uphold a patient-specific approach.
本研究旨在提供对日本人泪液引流解剖结构的全面而具有临床相关性的综述。
使用 PubMed 和由日本医学文摘协会管理的 Ichushi Web 对日本人泪液引流解剖结构进行了全面检索，检索截至 2018 年 12 月的相关研究。还对同一主题的出版书籍进行了审查。对所有文章和章节的数据进行了审查、分析并纳入了本次综述。
本综述按照从近端到远端的时间顺序介绍了泪液引流解剖结构的各个部分。本文描述了泪液引流系统的位置、尺寸、位置或角度、组织学（并附带提及泪液引流系统的重要临床功能和生理学）。
了解日本人的泪液引流解剖结构对于理解为什么必须将患者视为具有独特而特定解剖结构的个体，并坚持个体化治疗方法至关重要。
