Canaliculorhinostomy

Canaliculorhinostomy is a surgical operation that is performed to restore the patency of the lacrimal canaliculi and nasolacrimal duct. It may be necessary in the presence of various diseases that can lead to disruption of the outflow of tears and accumulation of fluid in the nose and paranasal sinuses.

The tear ducts are located in the inner corner of the eye and lead to the nasolacrimal duct. If they become clogged or inflamed, it can lead to swollen eyelids, watery eyes, and other problems. In such cases, a canaliculorhinostomy is performed - an operation to restore the patency of the lacrimal canaliculi.

The operation is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. First, the doctor makes a small incision in the inner corner of the eye and removes the blockage or inflammation. He then installs a drainage tube that will drain fluid from the tear ducts into the nasal cavity.

After surgery, the patient may experience some discomfort such as pain and swelling. However, these symptoms usually go away after a few days.

Canaliculorhinostomy is an effective method for treating diseases associated with blockage of the lacrimal canaliculi and nasolacrimal ducts. It allows you to restore normal tear flow and avoid complications such as sinusitis and conjunctivitis.

Canaliculorhinostomy (canaliculorhinostomy, canaliculorhinosotomy) is a surgical procedure in which the lacrimal duct is connected to the nasal cavity. This improves the outflow of tear secretions and prevents their retention in the nose.

The tear duct is a narrow channel that connects the eye to the nasal cavity and helps remove tears from the eye. If the tear duct is blocked or narrowed, it can lead to a buildup of tears and eye irritation and inflammation.
