متن کاملA New and Simple Silicone Intubation Method for Dacryocystorhinostomy
Aim: To describe a new and simple bicanalicular silicone intubation technique, which can be used during dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery. Method: In this method, a lacrimal canula is used to pass the silicone tube through the lacrimal canaliculi.
