Abstract

We have devised a method of single-eyelid canalicular reconstruction using the pigtail probe to facilitate identification of the proximal canalicular segment following silicone stent intubation of the normal, uninjured canaliculus. A series of seven acute and two long-standing canalicular lacerations were successfully reconstructed using this technique, which minimizes the risks associated with the use of the pigtail probe.
