Mini-invasive Therapy for Primary Chronic Canaliculitis without Damaging Lacrimal Punctum.
This study aimed to introduce a mini-invasive surgical approach without damaging lacrimal punctum for treating primary chronic canaliculitis (PCC). A retrospective analysis of 35 patients (35 eyes) suffering from PCC were recruited in the study. The surgery method is described briefly below: After making a conjunctival incision about 3-mm in length along the horizontal canaliculus at about 3-mm to the nasal of punctum, a curette of 2-mm diameter was used to evacuate the concretions through the incision of canaliculus. ⋯ The anatomical success was achieved in 34 cases (97.1%).
