The otologic T-tube: a cost effective dacryocystorhinostomy stent
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 March 2006
Abstract
Endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) has established itself as a popular means of relieving post-saccal obstruction of the naso-lacrimal ducts. Soft tissue stenosis of the rhinostomy is a significant cause of long-term failure. We describe the technique of using a standard otological T-tube as a cheap and easy self-retaining stent to ensure a patent rhinostomy following EDCR.
