RESUMEN
@#<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> To describe the surgical technique of transcanalicular endoscopic lacrimal duct recanalization (TELDR) with balloon dacryoplasty and silicone intubation in patients with complete nasolacrimal duct obstruction and assess their effectivity.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>METHODS:</strong> Ten lacrimal systems from eight patients diagnosed with complete nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) underwent TELDR and balloon dacryoplasty with silicone intubation.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>RESULTS:</strong> All 10 lacrimal systems from eight patients who underwent TELDR and balloon dacryoplasty with silicone intubation had 100% anatomical and functional patency.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> TELDR and balloon dacryoplasty with silicone intubation represents an alternative, minimally invasive technique in the management of complete nasolacrimal duct obstruction.</p>
