“…Apart from one patient with acute blindness due to an infection after stent implantation (Lanciego et al 2004), no major complications have been reported in the literature and patient compliance and contentment is very high as well. Commonly the patients report from a foreign-body sensation at the medial cantal re-gion for a few days which spontaneously disappears.…”

PrefaceTo dry people's eyes -that's one of the great challenges in lacrimal surgery. Different localizations of the stenosis, lesions after tumor surgery or trauma, and epiphora in children or adults are different conditions that need various operative procedures to treat a patient individually and successfully.The close relationship between the eyes and nose demands an interdisciplinary approach to lacrimal surgery. Therefore, ophthalmologists, otorhinolaryngologists as well as plastic surgeons are invited to contribute in solving a patient's problem.This book is intended to serve as a practically oriented reference. In the first part, it contains chapters on pertinent surgical anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology as well as basic clinical and radiological evaluation. In the second part, well-known authorities from all over the world present their experience in all operative procedures currently available to dry patients' eyes. The accompanying DVD contains video clips of different operations highlighting key portions of these procedures.

En el fondo de ojo realizado se objetivó atrofia y palidez en el disco óptico; un mes después se le practicó dacriocistorrinostomía que se efectuó sin complicaciones.…”

“…Dentre as complicações pós-procedimento podese citar a obstrução do implante como sendo a principal causa de falência. Outra complicação encontrada na literatura foi perda visual permanente, devido a um quadro de celulite orbitária e neuropatia óptica isquêmica, quatro dias após o implante (13) . Atualmente há três estudos multicêntricos publicados que avaliam a taxa de sucesso a médio e longo prazo, sendo dois deles com seguimento de cinco anos (14)(15) , e o outro com acompanhamento aproximadamente de 24 meses (3) .…”
