Bicanalicular lacerations have been traditionally managed using bicanalicular nasal intubation or annular stents. The Mini Monoka monocanalicular stent has been described for the management of monocanalicular lacerations. A bicanalicular laceration can also be successfully managed using two Mini Monoka monocanalicular stents, and this technique has several advantages. We report this simple and minimally invasive alternative in the management of bicanalicular laceration.

Evaluation of anatomical and functional success in canalicular laceration repair using anterior segment optical coherence tomography and dacryoscintigraphy.
Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine, Antalya, Turkey.
Purpose: To assess the anatomical and functional outcomes in patients who underwent surgery for canalicular laceration and did not experience significant epiphora, and to compare these outcomes with contralateral uninjured eye.
Method: Dacryoscintigraphy, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT), MUNK scores, and a satisfaction questionnaire were administered to 24 patients who had canalicular laceration repair without significant epiphora and had a minimum of 6 months of follow-up. Tear meniscus height (TMH), depth (TMD), and area (TMA) were measured using anterior segment OCT and compared with the values in the uninjured eye.
Pigtail-Assisted Distal Canalicular Repair in a Child: An Innovative Technique for Bicanalicular Intubation With Single Monocanalicular Stent.

Objective: Repair of medial canthus injury involving canaliculus is an emergency indication for canalicular intubation to restore lacrimal drainage. Herein, the author has described an innovative but simple technique for this reconstruction.
Method And Result: A small, blunt pigtail probe was gently passed through the opposite canaliculus in a rotational manner.

Department of Ophthalmology, Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, Niğde, Turkey.
Background: The aim of this study was to report the epidemiology and surgical outcomes of canalicular lacerations in the pediatric age group.
Methods: All pediatric patients who underwent repair of canalicular lacerations of any cause were included in this study. Age, sex, mechanism of trauma, and type of stent used were recorded.
Canalicular laceration repair using a novel bicanalicular silicone stent versus traditional bicanalicular stent with nasal fixation.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the clinical effects of two types of lacrimal stents used in repairing canalicular lacerations over a period from January 2017 to December 2022.
- A total of 315 patients were analyzed, with 147 receiving the new Runshi-RS silicone stent and 168 receiving the traditional stent with nasal fixation; success rates for both were similar in terms of anatomical and functional outcomes.
- However, the Runshi-RS stent resulted in shorter surgery times and fewer complications compared to the traditional method, indicating its advantages in surgical outcomes for this procedure.
Acute and Past Common Lacrimal Canalicular Lacerations: A Report of Two Cases.

Department of Ophthalmology, Aichi Medical University Hospital, Nagakute, JPN.
Article Synopsis
- Lacrimal canalicular lacerations are injuries to the tear drainage system often resulting from trauma to the eye area, though few specific cases are documented.
- This report discusses an acute case treated with a bicanalicular stent for immediate relief, and a prior case managed by external dacryocystorhinostomy with a monocanalicular stent.
- The treatments described are effectively positioned as initial surgical options before considering more complex procedures like conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy.
