Objective

To confirm the usefulness of the trans-canalicular laser approach of lachrymal obstructions.

Material and method

We carried out an observational, prospective, non-randomized interventional study on 150 consecutive eyes treated, between March 2004 and March 2005, using a trans-canalicular approach with a diode laser, under endonasal endoscopic control. We studied 2 groups of 75 eyes: in group I we did not use lachrymal silicone intubation nor mitomycin C; in group II we used mitomycin C and bicanalicular lachrymal intubation. Mean follow-up period has been 16 months.

Results

Positive lachrymal irrigation was present in 67/75 eyes in group I and in 71/75 eyes in group II. Clinical improvement was found in 69/75 eyes in group I and in 73/75 in group II.

Conclusions

Technical variations as lachrymal intubation or use of mitomycin C have not demonstrate significant differences. Our results indicate that the transcanalicular approach with diode is effective, with minimal local and general morbidity

Objetivo

Confirmar la efectividad del abordaje transcanalicular con láser de la vía lagrimal.

Material y método

Se realizó estudio intervencionista, observacional y prospectivo no aleatorizado, realizado entre marzo de 2004 y marzo de 2005, de 150 ojos consecutivos intervenidos por abordaje transcanalicular con láser diodo, con control endoscópico nasal. Se estudiaron 2 grupos de 75 ojos: en el grupo I no se utilizó mitomicina C ni sonda lagrimal; en el grupo II se utilizó mitomicina C y se dejó sonda bicanalicular de silicona. El promedio de seguimiento ha sido de 16 meses.

Resultados

Se mantuvo una irrigación positiva en 67/ 75 ojos del grupo I y en 71/75 de los del grupo II. Clínicamente se observó mejoría clínica en 69/75 ojos del grupo I y en 73/75 del grupo II.

Conclusiones

Las variaciones técnicas en cuanto a intubación lagrimal o uso de mitomicina C no demuestran diferencias significativas. Nuestros resultados indican que el abordaje transcanalicular con láser diodo es efectivo, con mínima morbilidad local y general.
