Purpose: To present our initial results in the treatment of nasolacrimal obstruction by placing a polyurethane stent.
Methods: 74 nasolacrimal stents were implanted under fluoroscopic guidance in obstructed nasolacrimal systems of 64 patients. Dacryocystography and CT were used to verify the position and patency of the stents.
