Abstract:
The article presents modern methods of surgical treatment of chronic dacryocystitis, a brief historical review of various options for endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy is carried out. The method of plastic seamless formation of dacryocystostomy, which does not require intubation of the lacrimal passages and/or using of silicone stoma dilators, is described. Between 2010 and 2019 at The State Budgetary Healthcare Institution of Moscow Area Moscow regional research clinical institute n.a. M.F. Vladimirskiy, according to the developed technique, 32 patients (32 eyes) with chronic dacryocystitis were operated on. According to the results of observation 1 year after surgical treatment, all 100% of patients recorded a positive result (absence or significant decrease in lacrimation, good anatomical visualization of dacryocystostomy with a good tear passage, both passive and during washing the lacrimal passages).
