| Abstract;We operated on 23 cases of canalicular laceration. The interval between trauma and surgery was 0 to 27 days, average 4.4 days. The lower canaliculus only was lacerated in 22 cases. The severed ends of the canaliculus could be identified under the operating microscope in 21 cases. No pigteil probe was used in order to avoid damaging the healthy portion of the canaliculus. Nunchaku-type silicone tube was useful to restore canalicular patency. The canaliculus could be reconstructed in 21 cases. No epiphora developed in the remaining 2 cases, apparently because of properly reconstructed eyelids. The findings show that reconstruction of canalicular laceration ought to be attempted within 5 days after decrease of eyelid swelling. (author abst.) |
