Abstract
Background: Canaliculi laceration is a common problem associated with maxillofacial and eyelid trauma which need prompt and proper management to prevent epiphora and irritation. There are many operation techniques and many kinds of stent for treatment canaliculi laceration.
Objectives: To evaluate surgical results in treatment of canaliculi lacerations at Surin hospital.
Study design: descriptive retrospective study.
Method: The medical records of patients who had canaliculi laceration at Surin hospital during 1 January 2008 - 31 December 2010 were reviewed. The demographic data, age, sex, cause of injury, duration before repairing, surgical technique, duration of stent replacement, surgical result and complications were analyzed.
Results: Among 95 patients, 84.21% were male. Mean age was 42±21.1 years (ranges 1 to 94 years) Cause of injury from motorcycle accidents were 56.84%. All patients were treated with pigtail probe and using nylon 3-0 as stent. At the final follow up, they had good results, only 5 patients had epiphora and one had cicatricial ectropion.
Conclusion: Treatment of canaliculi laceration by using pigtail probe and nylon 3-0 as stent had good surgical result.
