Objective: to morphometrically estimate normal variations in the sizes of lacrimal sacs on the basis of computed tomography findings to optimize the choice of endoscopic surgical intervention tactics for dacryocystitis.
Material And Methods: Preoperative orbital computed tomography data were comparatively morphometrically processed in two groups of patients with or without clinically verified dacryo- cystitis.
Results: Data on the typical variants of the sizes of the lacrimal sac in health and in clinically manifested dacryocystitis were obtained and statistically processed. The advantages of using the design volume of the lacrimal sac over other measurements were shown. A method for the morphometry of lacrimal sacs was proposed on the strength of computed tomography data.
Conclusion: The obtained new refined data on the holotopy of the lacrimal sac in health and clinically verified dacryocystitis can simplify the choice of an approach to planning endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of S-100 absorbable hemostatic patch coverage on anastomotic mucosa in endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR).
Methods: Two hundred and twenty-six patients with unilateral chronic dacryocystitis (CD) were randomly divided into two groups in a randomized controlled trial: the S-100 absorbable hemostatic patch group (group A) and the control group (group B). All patients underwent En-DCR.
Immediate Stentless Lacrimal Sac to Conjunctiva Reconstructive Ostomy for Cancer and Trauma Defects: LACROS (Conjunctivodacryocystostomy).
Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg
January 2025
Plastic Surgery Unit, Clínica San Francisco, Tuluá, Colombia.
Purpose: To describe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of lacrimal sac to conjunctiva reconstructive ostomy for proximal lacrimal system reconstruction.
Methods: This retrospective study included 41 patients (32 cancer and 9 trauma; 36 primary and 5 secondary) who underwent lacrimal sac to conjunctiva reconstructive ostomy. The technique involves creating a direct connection between a surgical opening in the lacrimal sac, which maintains its bony attachments to prevent ostomy occlusion, and the medial conjunctiva (medial fornix, bulbar, and palpebral).
