RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Analisar as complicações da aplicação do laser de diodo para o tratamento da obstrução nasolacrimal adquirida.

MÉTODOS:

Foram realizados 44 procedimentos (dacriocistorrinostomia transcanalicular com laser de diodo com intubação bicanalicular de silicone sob anestesia local) entre fevereiro de 2002 a novembro de 2007 em 41 pacientes (3 bilateralmente), sendo 32 mulheres e 9 homens.

RESULTADOS:

As complicações mais frequentes no intraoperatório foram dificuldade de passar a sonda de Crawford (13,6 por cento) e passagem da fibra óptica dificultada (11,3 por cento). No pós-operatório, a epífora foi a ocorrência mais frequente (15,9 por cento), seguida pela retirada acidental do silastic (11,3 por cento).

CONCLUSÃO:

Os índices de complicações intra e pós-operatórias se equivalem aos artigos publicados com a mesma técnica cirúrgica (e mesmo tipo de laser).
ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the complications of the use of diode laser in the treatment of acquired nasolacrimal obstruction.

METHODS:

Forty four procedures (transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy with diode laser with bicanalicular silicone tube intubation and local anesthesia) where performed from February 2002 to November 2007 in 41 patients (3 bilaterally), 32 women and 9 men.

RESULTS:

The most common intraoperative complications were disability to pass the Crawford probe (13.6 percent) and the laser probe (11.3 percent). Regarding postoperative complications, epiphora was the event of higher frequency (15.9 percent) followed by the non-intentional silastic extrusion by the patient (11.3 percent).

CONCLUSION:

Intraoperative and postoperative complications rate were similar of others articles that demonstrated the same surgical technique (with same laser).
