Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the outcomes of endoscopic conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy with StoplossTM Jones tube; factors affecting surgical success were also investigated. This was a prospective interventional study between July 2017 and August 2021 at the Eye Trauma Department of Vietnam National Eye Hospital enrolling 41 patients (47 eyes) with complete obstruction of both canaliculi. Among 41 patients (47 eyes), there were 18 males and 23 females with mean age of 46.6 ± 11.6; 26 cases had obstruction due to trauma, 21 cases had primary obstruction. After 12 months of follow-up, the success rate after the surgery was 91.5%. Causes of canalicular obstruction, Jones tube’s length and complicated displacement of Jones tube after surgery are factors affecting the surgical outcomes. Endoscopic conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy has a high success rate, but with ample of post-operative complications.
