A comparison of two surgical techniques for basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid: two-step surgery and one-step surgery.
Int Ophthalmol
December 2024
Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Department of Cerrahpasa Medical School, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Objective: To compare the results of one-step surgery (OSS) and two-step surgery (TSS) in the surgical management of eyelid basal cell carcinomas (BCC).
Method: A total of 43 eyes of 43 patients were included. OSS was applied to 22 of these patients, while TSS was applied to 21 patients.
Pediatric nasolacrimal duct intubation using deep sedation outside the operating room- comparison of three types of stents.

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas. Electronic address:
Background: Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstructions that persist after 9 months of age often require surgical intervention through probing and stenting of the tear duct. These procedures typically occur under general anesthesia in an operating room setting. We propose a novel approach using intravenous sedation outside the operating room.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares the outcomes of two different types of stents (bicanalicular and mono-canalicular) used for lacrimal duct reconstruction after cancer treatment, as previous comparisons were lacking.
- A total of 75 patients were enrolled and divided into two groups, with significant differences found in stent duration and some postoperative complications like stent prolapse and punctal issues.
- Overall, both stent types were equally effective in maintaining lacrimal duct function and minimizing tear overproduction post-surgery, highlighting the importance of appropriate case selection for optimal results.
Pigtail-Assisted Distal Canalicular Repair in a Child: An Innovative Technique for Bicanalicular Intubation With Single Monocanalicular Stent.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
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.
Comparative efficacy of probing with or without intubation, and/or inferior turbinate fracture in simple congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction: a randomized clinical trial.
Sci Rep
September 2024
Department of Oculofacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different surgical interventions (probing alone, probing with monocanalicular intubation, probing with inferior turbinate fracture, and probing with both) for treating simple congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) in children aged 12-36 months.
- A randomized, double-blind trial involved 201 children showing symptoms of CNLDO, with success measured by the absence of symptoms and a negative dye test three months post-surgery.
- The results indicated that while interventions did not significantly change success rates for younger children (12-24 months), older children (24-36 months) benefited more from intubation, achieving
