    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Oculoplastics

    Context:

    • Nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common condition affecting tear drainage.
    • Traditional treatments include intubation with polyethylene tubes.
    • The Toti technique is a surgical approach to bypass the obstruction.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Toti technique for dacryocystorhinostomy.
    • To compare the Toti technique with polyethylene tube intubation.
    • To determine the success rate and feasibility of the Toti technique.

    Summary:

    • A series of 127 dacryocystorhinostomies were performed using the Toti technique.
    • The procedure is characterized by its simplicity and requires a short hospitalization period.
    • The Toti technique demonstrated a success rate of over 90%.

    Impact:

    • The Toti technique is a highly successful and efficient surgical option for nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
    • Results suggest the Toti technique should be considered a standard procedure.
    • This approach offers advantages over intubation with polyethylene tubes, potentially improving patient outcomes.
