The Effects of Silicone Tube Intubation During Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy in Patients With Acute Dacryocystitis With Acquired Skin Fistulization.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to determine the silicone tube intubation requirement for endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) in patients with acute dacryocystitis (AD) with acquired skin fistulization.

Methods

Between September 2012 and October 2020, patients with AD and acquired skin fistulization undergoing En-DCR at the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were randomized into treatment groups in which silicone tube intubation was carried out or not (groups A and B, respectively). All patients with skin fistulae present for 1+ months at En-DCR underwent fistulectomy. Operative success was assessed at 12 months post En-DCR in both treatment groups. Multiple logistic analyses were performed to assess for influencing factors on surgical success.
