Abstract:
Objective To investigate the curative effect of different time of irrigating after endolacrimal recanalisation surgery by Nd:YAG laser combining eye ointment stuffing. Methods Seventy-five cases (75 eyes) of lacrimal duct obstruction, which received endo-lacrimal recanalisation surgery by Nd:YAG laser combining eye ointment stuffing were divided into three groups by random digits table with 25 cases in each group. Group A received irrigating: the first day postoperative, consecutive 3 days,followed by once a week till a month. Group B received irrigating:the third day postoperative, consecutive 3 days,followed by once a week till a month. Group C received irrigating:the sixth day postoperative, consecutive 3 days, followed by once a week till a month. Followed-up survey for 12 months at the ophthalmologic outpatient clinic,the curative effect in each group was compared. Results In 6 months after surgery, the comparison of the curative effect was no statistical difference between group B and group C (P＞ 0.05), while the curative effects in group B and group C was superior to that in group A (P ＜ 0.05). In 12 months after surgery, the curative effect in group C was better than that in group A and B, the difference were statistically significant (P＜0.05). But there was no statistical significance compared with group A and group B (P＞0.05). Conclusions Properly delayed irrigating may improve the curative effect after endo-lacrimal recanalisation surgery by Nd:YAG laser combining eye ointment stuffing, while easier irrigating can increase the incidence of re-blockage of lacrimal duct and reduce the efficacy.
