Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the outcomes of surgical repair of canalicular lacerations with a round-tipped pigtail probe and silicone tube implantation. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of the case records of 64 patients who presented to the Ophthalmology Department of Harran University between 2010 and 2015 and underwent surgical repair of canalicular lacerations. Each patient’s age, gender, nationality, mechanism of injury, injured canaliculi, and follow-up time were evaluated. In addition to the anatomical and functional results, complications were also analyzed. Results: A total of 64 patients, 51 (79.7%) males and 13 (20.3%) females, with a mean age at presentation of 14.6 years (range: 1-69 years) were enrolled. Forty-six patients were aged <15 years (71.9%). Forty-two patients (65.6%) had lower canalicular lacerations, and 19 patients had isolated upper canalicular lacerations (29.7%). At the final follow-up (mean: 33.7 months), anatomical success was observed in all patients. Conclusion: Silicone tube implantation using a round-tipped pigtail probe is an effective method that facilitates anatomical and functional success in cases of canalicular laceration.

环形硅胶管和圆头辫状探针修复泪小管撕裂伤

目的：分析圆头辫状探针加硅胶管植入术治疗泪小管撕裂伤的疗效。方法：对2010年至2015年间在哈兰大学眼科就诊并接受泪小管撕裂伤手术修复的64名患者的病例记录进行回顾性分析。评估每位患者的年龄、性别、国籍、损伤机制、损伤小管和随访时间。除了解剖和功能结果外，还对并发症进行了分析。结果：共有64名患者入选，其中51名（79.7%）男性和13名（20.3%）女性，平均年龄14.6岁（范围：1-69岁）。46名患者年龄<15岁（71.9%）。42名患者（65.6%）有下小管撕裂伤，19名患者有孤立的上小管撕裂伤（29.7%）。在最后的随访（平均：33.7个月）中，所有患者的解剖结构都取得了成功。结论：在泪小管撕裂伤的病例中，使用圆形尾纤探针植入硅胶管是一种有效的方法，有助于解剖和功能的成功。
