Abstract:
145 nasolacrimal obstruction patients (150 eyes) were treated with the modified dacryocystorhinostomy operation (using periostium). Group I: 45 cases with torn nasal-membrane. Group II: 145 cases with intact nasal-membrane. The general results are the same in both groups but the functional result of group II is much higher than that of group I. Thank to using periostium in operation, the treatment result is much increased. Six months after operation, the treatment result is stable. The technique is quite simple
