“…Interventions with a success rate of over 90 % include high heat-energy thermal cautery [7], conjunctival flap [8], canaliculectomy [10], diathermy with cutting and suturing [12], transfer of lacrimal punctum to dry dock [13] and the use of the ophthalmic burr with suturing [6]. The latter technique does not require unusual devices or more complex and time-intensive surgical interventions (like transfer of lacrimal punctum, conjunctival flap).…”

“…Different surgical approaches have been described for permanent surgical punctal occlusion with a range of success ranging between 14 – 100%, depending on the operating technique 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 . Thermal cauterization is a quick method, but has been shown to have a modest success rate of only about 60% (40 – 82% 5 ).…”

“…Çeşitli sebeplerle meydana gelen kuru göz hastalığında punktal-kanaliküler tıkama, oldukça etkili bir tedavi seçeneğidir. Bu amaçla en yaygın kullanılan yöntemler, çeşitli materyallerden üretilen punktal ya da kanaliküler tıkaçlar, punktum koterizasyonu, punktumun cerrahi olarak kapatılması gibi yöntemlerdir (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Özellikle ilaç kullanımına bağlı ya da geçirilmiş kornea cerrahisi sonrası dönemde gelişen kuru göz hastalığında, geçici, görece ekonomik ve geri dönüşümlü bir yöntem olması sebebi ile eriyebilen kanaliküler tıkaçlar oldukça kullanışlıdır.…”
