ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We evaluated the clinical efficacy of lacrimal endoscopy-assisted silicone tube intubation in patients with a nasolacrimal duct obstruction.METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective chart review of 86 eyes of 67 patients who underwent lacrimal endoscopy (RUIDO fiberscope; Fibertechco, Tokyo, Japan)-assisted silicone tube intubation from December 2014 to March 2017. We compared clinical characteristics, irrigation test results, and dacryocystographic and lacrimal endoscopic findings, and analyzed factors related to surgical success.RESULTS:
In total, 86 eyes of 67 patients underwent lacrimal endoscopy-assisted silicone tube intubation. The success rate was 87.2%. There was a significantly lower preoperative tear meniscus height (420.5 ± 198.1 µm vs. 639.0 ± 224.3 µm, p < 0.001). In the surgically successful group, narrowing was frequently observed (29.0% vs. 0%, p = 0.030). Dacryolith findings were associated with surgical failure (10% vs. 29%, p = 0.043).CONCLUSIONS:
Lacrimal endoscopy-assisted silicone tube intubation is considered an effective and successful operative procedure and enables the observation of real-time findings inside the lacrimal drainage passage for the treatment of pathological lesions. Narrowing observed during lacrimal endoscopy indicated successful treatment as opposed to dacryolith findings, which were associated with a failed outcome.
