Fifty-two patients with complicated lacrimal problems were treated with silicone stents. Our overall success rate, judging from a minimum 6-month follow-up, was 40% in these complicated cases, accepting only positive dye tests as our criteria for success. We divided these cases into six groups with successes ranging from 0--68%. Twenty-nine percent of patients had complications related to their stents. While silicone stents are probably the most important recent advance in lacrimal surgery, one must be aware of their indications, limitations and complications.
52例伴有复杂泪道问题的患者接受了硅胶支架治疗。从至少6个月的随访情况来看，在这些复杂病例中，以仅阳性染料试验作为成功标准时，我们的总体成功率为40%。我们将这些病例分为六组，成功率从0%至68%不等。29%的患者出现了与支架相关的并发症。虽然硅胶支架可能是泪道手术近期最重要的进展，但必须了解其适应证、局限性和并发症。
