ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To explore the application effect of mitomycin C in lacrimal duct obstruction during anterograde lacrimal drainage tube implantation. <p>METHODS:Totally 78 cases of lacrimal duct obstruction(82 eyes)were randomly divided into the observation group(39 cases, 42 eyes)and the control group(39 cases, 40 eyes), and the control group was treated with lacrimal drainage tube implantation. The observation group was based on this combined mitomycin C treatment and compared the effect of two groups. <p>RESULTS: The total effective rate of the observation group was 81%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group(62%), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(<i>P</i><0.05). The eye surface change score(26.25±1.67)and tear SP content(256.32±10.07pg/mL)were lower than that of the control group after treatment. The tear film rupture time(8.85±0.89s)was shorter than that of the control group(9.58±0.92s), and the two groups were statistically significant(<i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: Mitomycin C can improve the efficacy of anterograde lacrimal drainage tube implantation for the treatment of lacrimal duct obstruction and improve prognosis.
