Abstract

ABSTRACT A new atraumatic technique for identifying the medial cut end of a surgically lacerated canaliculus is described. It offers the advantage of allowing the surgeon to pass a stent through the canaliculus only, without surgically manipulating the lacrimal sac or nasolacrimal duct or damaging the ipsilateral canaliculus.
