“…In our previous study, we introduced a method of lacrimal system intubation and achieved a good result without iatrogenic injury. 3,6 However, the disadvantage still exist, for example, when the silicone tube entangle the blind tip of epidural catheter, retrograde traction is often caused by damage of the lacrimal. Second, the potential risks of the normal lacrimal punctum split and canalicular tear when soft lacrimal probe directly through the lacrimal punctum and traumatic canalicular, then enter the lacrimal sac vertically.…”

“…Based on the procedures described in our previously published studies, 3,6 a modified soft probe ( Figure 2) consisting of a segmental epidural catheter with a blind tip and a stainless steel acupuncture needle (the needle point was cutoff and the tip was burnished) was inserted into the lumen of the proximal part of the catheter to increase its rigidity before inserting the soft probe.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] When evaluated for invasiveness, the nasal stenting is traditionally considered a more invasive technique because it is usually difficult to clamp the inserted antegrade suture crossing the inferior turbinate out of the inferior meatus, and it often needs to be assisted by an intranasal endoscope. 9,10 Sometimes, this process is time consuming. In all of our 78 cases, the memory titanium guiding stylet could be easily self-retrieved out of the nostril without the assistance of additional instruments, and no patient experienced iatrogenic bleeding or other complications during the retrieval process.…”

“…Bu sebeple göz kapağı travmalarında mutlaka kanaliküler sistem açıklığı ve bütünlüğü muayene edilmelidir [1][2][3][4]. Yaralanmadan yaklaşık [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] saat sonra kanalikül ve çevreleyen dokularda ödem geliştiği ve bu durumun yaralanma tespitini güçleştirdiği bildirilmiştir [3]. Bu sebepten, cerrahi müdahale mümkün olan en kısa sürede planlanmalıdır [4].…”
