Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the clinical effects between the silicone nasolacrimal intubation under nasoendoscopy and dacryocystorhinostomy on patients with lacrimal duct obstruction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Lacrimal duct obstruction is common among patients with epiphora,which is seriously affect the quality of life. The treatment principle is to restore or rebuild the lacrimal duct drainage channel. The classic operation type is dacryocystorhinostomy(DCR), which is complex for face-section particularly. However, with the development of endoscopy, the investigators prefer to the silicone nasolacrimal intubation under nasal endoscopy, which is more simple and efficient. With endoscopy, the investigators can see anatomical structures clearly and then can perform the operation much more perfectly.Compare to the classic one called DCR, its short and long term therapeutic effects are equal and even better.Therefore,the latter type does do good to both doctors and patients.

Recessive Spherical Headed Silicone Intubation

The silicone nasolacrimal intubation under nasal endoscopy can restore natural drainage pathway in tears and as an out-patient surgery, it is more simple,cheap and mini-invasive.Recessive Spherical Headed Silicone Intubation is safe,convenient and almost unpainful for no trauma.It has no facial scar and no damage for structure and function of lacrimal duct.Besides,silica gel is non-toxic and nonirritating.Nasal endoscopy handed by otorhinolaryngologist helps intraoperative visualization about anatomy of the nasal cavity,understanding and management of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction and is the only method that confirms the correct anatomic position of the catheterization and in real time,avoiding traditionally the blind raking-out wire by the ophthalmologist alone.Compare to the classic DCR,its short therapeutic effects are equal but more convenient and fewer time and money-cost.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Recessive Spherical Headed Silicone Intubation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Local anesthesia,regular disinfection, spread sterile towels, exposure operative side.2%lidocaine infiltration anesthesia to inferior orbital nerves, lacrimal punctum and lacrimal sac. Nasal cavity was packed with gauze soaked in 2%ephedrine with 1%tetracaine 15 minutes before procedure.A routine silicone tube of spherical intubation was performed. Dilatated lacrimal point to the end, then inserted the probe with line from lacrimal punctum to inferior meatus through nasolacrimal duct.Cut the line and flush the lacrimal duct physiological saline in 5 mL, flowing the line into the inferior meatus, then suctioned out the line with nasal endoscopy and extracted the probe and dilatated the lacrimal duct again. Insert the spherical silicone tube from lacrimal point to the lacrimal sac, reversing to vertical direction to ensure the tube is inserted into the nasolacrimal duct, then catch the above line but cut short the follow one and fix.Unobstructed lacrimal irrigation.

Dacryocystorhinostomy

Nasolacrimal duct obstruction is common among patients with epiphora,which is seriously affect the quality of life. The treatment principle is to restore or rebuild the lacrimal duct drainage channel. The classic operation type is dacryocystorhinostomy(DCR), which is complex for face-section particularly.After surgery the lacrimal passage can't siphon the tear out physically any more so that it will effect the patients' life.Besides,the operating time,bleeding volume,hospitalization time and total cost for the surgery is higher.

Group Type OTHER

Dacryocystorhinostomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Surgery was performed under local anesthesia.Incision was taken over anterior lacrimal crest.Medial palpebral ligament was identified.Orbicularis was separated.Reflection of periosteum and dissection of lacrimal sac from lacrimal fossa was done.Sac was excised to make'H'shaped anterior and posterior flaps. Bony osteum of sufficient size was made with bone punch.Nasal mucosa was cut to make anterior and posterior flaps.Subsequently anterior to anterior and posterior to posterior flaps were sutured.
