A new monocanalicular stent is described, which is used in cases of lacrimal canalicular injuries, associated with direct sutures of the canalicular wall. When injuries occur on proximal portion (2/3) of the canaliculus, a true monocanalicular stent is used, without intubation of the vertical part of lacrimal system. When the distal portion (1/3) of the canaliculus and/or the sac are involved, a complete monocanalicular probe is placed. First results of this method are exposed (5 cases) and are suggestively good.
