OBJECTIVE: To observe the surgical therapeutic effects of dacryorhinocystotomy under nasal endoscope combined with the application of modified silicone mold implantation for postoperative recurrent dacryocystitis. METHOD: The research method is to conduct the dacryorhinocystotomy under nasal endoscope to 23 cases(24 eyes) of recurrent dacryocystitis, in the process of which modified silicone mold is implanted under the nasal mucosa. RESULT: During a follow-up of 6-12 months to the 23 cases (24 eyes), 18 eyes were cured, 6 eyes were getting setter and there was no recurrence. CONCLUSION It's concluded that the modified silicone mold implantation can avoid the recurrent atresia of the aperture created by the dacryorhinocystotomy, which proves that the combination with the modified silicone mold implantation in dacryorhinocystotomy is an effective treatment method of curing recurrent dacryocystitis.
