Abstract
The surgical technique of using a pigtail probe for silicone intubation of an injured canaliculus is described. Nineteen patients who had either chemical burns of the punctal orifices or lacerations of the canalicular structures were treated by this method of repair. The results were excellent; and functioning canalicular systems were obtained in all of the patients after surgical repair.Entities:
