Comparison of Medpor Coated Tear Drainage Tube versus Silicon Tear Drainage Tube in Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy: Problems and Solutions

Figure 1

(a) At the final stage of conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy surgery performed with Medpor coated tear drainage tube, the tube is suspended to the nasal root by a silk suture and then secured. (b) In surgeries in which silicon tear drainage tubes are used, two 7/0 vicryl sutures are passed through the tube valves, thereby securing the tube to conjunctiva and caruncle.
