Comparison of Two Conjunctival Incision Techniques in Strabismus Operations: Analysis of the Patient Population in 2008, 2010 - 2014.

Background: Until 2010, the Halle university hospital used the limbal approach in strabismus operations to open the conjunctiva, as first described by Harms in 1949. In 2010, this was changed the to a modified radial incision technique, as inspired by the fornix incision of Harms and the "minimally invasive strabismus surgery" (MISS) technique of D. S.

A Case Series of Dacryoendoscopy in Childhood: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Alternative for Complex Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction Even in the First Year of Life.

Introduction: Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) is the most common cause of epiphora in infancy. Spontaneous resolution occurs in the majority of the cases by 1 year of age. Nevertheless, obstruction has a negative impact on the outcome of conservative or surgical therapy, especially in cases of complex CNLDO.

[Prognostic value of lacrimal duct diagnostics after tube removal : Retrospective analysis of risk of relapse during the first postoperative year after transcanalicular lacrimal duct surgery with silicone tubing].

Background: Transcanalicular lacrimal duct surgery has become more important over the past two decades.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to prove the prognostic value of postoperative lacrimal syringing and the testing of spontaneous drainage of lacrimal fluid immediately after tube removal.

Methods: A total of 110 cases with postoperative lacrimal syringing and 183 cases with verification of the postoperative lacrimal fluid drainage performed between January 2001 and August 2008 were retrospectively evaluated.

[Medical and psychological aspects of the treatment of connatal dacryostenosis : Parental evaluation of their own and their child's stress].

Background: Lacrimal probing and syringing for connatal dacryostenosis can be performed under local (LA) and general anesthesia (GA). In cases of invasive medical procedures, pain and anxiety can be distressing for children and their parents.

Materials And Methods: Using questionnaires (n = 65), parents were asked to evaluate their own stress and that of their child during lacrimal probing and syringing.
