Recanalization of Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction by Endodiathermy Probe and Intubation Versus Intubation Only

• Status: Unknown
• Phase: Phase 2 / Phase 3
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 80 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Cairo University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 2 Years – 7 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The purpose of the current work is to assess the efficiency and success rate of endodiathermy probe followed by intubation in children more than 2 years compared to the success rate of intubation (as a standard method) which varies from 75% to 85% in several studies

Detailed description

The study will be conducted on children above 2 year and will be divided randomly into two groups: Group (I): 80 eyes of children suffer from congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction will have probing with metal probe and then intubation with bicanlicular silicon tube. Group (II): 80 eyes of children suffer from congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction will have probing with endodiathermy probe and then intubation with bicanlicular silicon tube
