dc.description.abstract | <h4>Purpose</h4>To describe the use of a lacrimal bypass tube in the management of epiphora in patients with epiphora attributable to lacrimal pump failure in facial palsy.<h4>Design</h4>Multicenter retrospective interventional study.<h4>Methods</h4>Information regarding patient demographics, diagnoses, symptoms, oculoplastic interventions, dacryocystorhinostomy, and Jones tube insertion were collected from patient charts.<h4>Results</h4>Eighteen patients were identified, in all of whom epiphora was clinically and/or radiologically assessed as being attributable to pump failure, lid laxity having been corrected. All had constant epiphora prior to Jones tube insertion. Dacryocystorhinostomy was performed in all; insertion of a Jones tube was performed simultaneously in 12, with delayed insertion in 6. Patients' subjective epiphora improved postoperatively in 15 of 18 (83.3%) and at final median follow-up of 27.5 months (range, 6 months to 31 years); symptoms were improved in 13 of 18 (72.2%). Complications occurred in 13 of 18 (72.2%), including tube extrusion and the need for repositioning.<h4>Conclusions</h4>In this highly selected group of patients, Jones tube insertion led to symptom improvement in 83.3% postoperatively and in 72.2% at median follow-up of 27.5 months. Tube extrusion and migration were common, although such complications were not unexpected and were treatable. | - |
