Fluorescein transit test time as a tool to assess lacrimal pump function after diode laser transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy and external dacryocysto-rhinostomy.

CONCLUSION: FTT in the DCR-T Group was significantly lower than in the EXT-DCR Group. No other variables exhibited a statistically significant correlation with FTT. Lacrimal drainage was found to be better after T-DCR than after EXT-DCR, results which show that this procedure could prevent lacrimal pump damage. PMID: 29509829 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
