ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report on the treatment approach of canaliculitis related to SmartPLUG use and its clinical manifestation.METHODS:
A retrospective chart review of eight patients who had canaliculitis after the insertion of the SmartPLUG was conducted.RESULTS:
Seven out of eight cases with canaliculitis related to the SmartPLUG required extraction of the SmartPLUG. While four cases were removed with only retrograde massage, two cases required surgical treatment.CONCLUSIONS:
Canaliculitis related to SmartPLUG use is rarely reported. However, canaliculitis as a complication is difficult to treat and often leads to surgery. In canaliculitis related to SmartPLUG use, retrograde massage as a non-surgical method for the simple and effective removal of the SmartPLUG can be beneficial.
