Abstract
To simplify the surgical procedure in silicone tube implantation for lacrimal drainage obstruction. To reduce the problem of retrieving the leader from under the inferior turbinate, I developed a method where I probe the canaliculi with a pigtail probe, allowing a leader to pass through both canaliculi simultaneously. The leader is then retrieved under direct visualization to minimize trauma. This new method necessitates only one retrieval of the leader in the nasal cavity instead of two. This single retrieval is also made easier. A surgically demanding and time-consuming procedure is made easier for the surgeon and the inconvenience for the patient is reduced.
