For reconstruction of lacrimal drainage after injury of tumour resection indications, surgical technique and results of five surgical procedures are presented: primary suture with splinting, conjunctivorhinostomy, endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy, Heermann tube and mobilisation of nasolacrimal duct. Performing these techniques, solitary or in combination, one achieves almost a good lacrimal drainage. The results of our retrospective study are based upon a combination of subjective and objective findings. Success rate was 96% for direct suturing of the tear ducts with intubation, 100% for conjunctivorhinostomy, 96% for endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy in case of postsaccal stenosis, 83% for Heermann/Jones tube and 100% for relocation of the nasolacrimal duct.
