Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
To assist in the repair of canalicular injuries, identification of the medial aspect of the canalicular laceration can easily be accomplished by retrograde probing and intubation of the medial canalicular remnant. A dacryocystotomy along the medial side of the nasolacrimal sac will allow direct visualization of the internal nasolacrimal sac anatomy and common internal punctum of the common canalicular system. A retrograde passage of a modified Quickert probe can then be accomplished through the dacryocystotomy incision into the common internal punctum and present in the traumatic wound, identifying the medial aspect of the canalicular laceration. |
