Abstract
We report a study of a series of 83 cases of congenital nasolacrimal d uct obstruction treated with monocanaliculonasal or bicanaliculonasal silicone intubation. Efficacy, complications, as well as the duration of the placement of the probes were studied. The analysis of the vario us factors of this series (age of the infants at the time of intubatio n, duration and type of intubation, complications) demonstrated the su periority of short-term monocanaliculonasal intubation (about four wee ks) compared to longer intubation.
