To explore a new technique to find out the proximal end of lacerated canaliculi and a new material for the stent. Surgery was performed on 9 eyes of 9 patients using a 5/0 prolene suture needle as a modified probe. Prolene suture was inserted as a stent and left in place for two months. All the data were analyzed. The surgery was successful in all cases and the prolene were removed after two months. The mean follow-up time after the tube removal was 3.8 months (range 3-6 months). No other complications associated with the prolene sutures were noticed except for epiphora and corneal irritation in three cases. All the tubes were removed successfully without any difficulty. No iatrogenic injuries occurred during prolene removal. The reported surgical technique is a very cost-effective option for lacrimal canalicular laceration repair.
探索一种找出泪小管断裂近端的新技术以及一种用于支架的新材料。对9例患者的9只眼进行手术，使用5/0普理灵缝线针作为改良探针。将普理灵缝线作为支架插入并留置两个月。对所有数据进行分析。所有病例手术均成功，两个月后取出普理灵缝线。拔管后的平均随访时间为3.8个月（范围3 - 6个月）。除3例出现溢泪和角膜刺激外，未发现与普理灵缝线相关的其他并发症。所有导管均顺利取出，无任何困难。取出普理灵缝线时未发生医源性损伤。所报道的手术技术是泪小管断裂修复的一种非常经济有效的选择。
