Klinische Monatsblatter Fur Augenheilkunde
|November 1, 1978
Abstract:
Experiences of 163 patients with injuries of the canaliculi which were treated by different methods between 1960--1975 are presented. Of the 125 cases who were available for follow-up examinations, in 83.4% the injured canaliculus was patent. The advantages of retrograd introduction of the supporting silicon material is discussed. In more than 90% patency will be reached if microsurgical readaptation of the injured canaliculi by 3 direct sutures is done.
