Re: “Outcome of Primary Monocanalicular Stent Placement in Pediatric Down Syndrome Patients with Congenital Nasolacrimal Obstruction”

“…4,5,7 It helps avoid false passage of the probe, redirect the probe, manage an impacted inferior turbinate, marsupialize the intranasal mucocele, retrieve the silicone tube, avoid nasal mucosal injury and bleeding, and perform dacryocystorhinostomy if needed. 4,5,7…”
