Authors describe their own modification of intubation of lacrimal system, which they developed on the island of Malta. They used usual instruments for probing with addition of venous catheter and silicone rod. This technique was used on 40 patients in three diagnostic groups. The best results were achieved in congenital obstructions in children and traumatic lacerations of lacrimal system, where 100% success was achieved. The success rate in adult patients with acquired obstructions was about 60%. The complications rate was very low. Advantage of this modification is low costs, easy availability of instruments and gentleness towards nasal mucosa.
作者描述了他们自己对泪道插管术的改良方法，该方法是他们在马耳他岛研发的。他们使用常规的探通器械，并添加了静脉导管和硅胶棒。这项技术应用于三个诊断组的40例患者。在儿童先天性阻塞和泪道外伤性撕裂伤中取得了最佳效果，成功率达100%。成年获得性阻塞患者的成功率约为60%。并发症发生率很低。这种改良方法的优点是成本低、器械容易获得且对鼻黏膜损伤小。
