“…The incidence of persistent nasolacrimal system obstruction requiring DCR ranged from 5 to 21% [13,41,42]. As previously mentioned, the management of lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct injuries should not be explored at the initial surgery if there is no obvious laceration [11,14,[41][42][43].…”

“…As previously mentioned, the management of lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct injuries should not be explored at the initial surgery if there is no obvious laceration [11,14,[41][42][43]. There were studies [41,42] that showed spontaneous resolution of traumatic epiphora within 6 months after primary fracture repair. Trauma to lacrimal pathways can produce temporary or permanent dysfunction.…”

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.

“…The bones forming the skeletal framework of the nose are displaced backward between the orbits, and the anterior medial orbital walls are displaced laterally, producing a telecanthus. 2,[4][5][6][7] Achieving an optimal outcome is difficult because, in the intercanthal region of the face, even minor shortcomings are readily perceived by others. Fractures with displaced bone segments may cause injury or external compression of the nasolacrimal duct in its bony canal.…”
