ABSTRACT
We performed 16 dacryocystorhinostomies with silicone tube for the chronic dacryocystitis with partial obstruction of the canaliculus. About 10 weeks postoperatively, the silicone tube was removed in 6 cases which had some epiphora, and the tube was retained in the canlaiculus in asymtomatic 10 cases. After 6 months follow up period, one case revealed a reobstruction of the common canaliculus but the other fifteen cases showed satisfactory results.
