  • Title: Silicone intubation in children with nasolacrimal obstruction.
    Author: Durso F, Hand SI, Ellis FD, Helveston EM.
    Journal: J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus; 1980; 17(6):389-93. PubMed ID: 7205521.
    Abstract:
    Silicone tube intubations were performed on 36 cases of congenital nasolacrimal obstruction and on three children with traumatic canalicular lacerations. The success rates of 84% in congenital nasolacrimal duct obstructions, 54% in congenital punctal-canalicular obstructions, and 100% in canalicular lacerations and the minimal complications encountered suggest that silicone intubations in the pediatric population are useful in avoiding dacryocystorhinostomy and conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy.
