Repair of medial canthus injury involving canaliculus is an emergency indication for canalicular intubation to restore lacrimal drainage. Herein, the author has described an innovative but simple technique for this reconstruction.
A small, blunt pigtail probe was gently passed through the opposite canaliculus in a rotational manner. A silicon stent was threaded inside canaliculi by reverse rotation of the pigtail in an atraumatic way. The technique was used on 4 pediatric cases without any postoperative complication or epiphora.
This technique of intubation is simple, cheap, and useful in canalicular emergencies, including "distal" canaliculus lacerations.
修复涉及泪小管的内眦损伤是泪小管插管以恢复泪液引流的紧急指征。在此,作者描述了一种用于这种重建的创新但简单的技术。
将一个小的钝头猪尾探针以旋转方式轻柔地穿过对侧泪小管。通过以无创伤方式反向旋转猪尾将硅支架穿入泪小管内。该技术应用于4例儿科病例,无任何术后并发症或溢泪情况。
这种插管技术简单、廉价,在包括“远端”泪小管撕裂伤在内的泪小管急症中有用。
