- 摘要：Purpose
To introduce and assess the results of punctoplasty using a radiofrequency surgical unit for punctal stenosis.
MethodsPatients who complained of epiphora, had an intact lacrimal pathway below puncti, and underwent punctoplasty with the Ellman Surgitron F.F.P.F were evaluated in the present study.
ResultsA total of 19 patients (31 eyes) were included in the study. The average age was 55 years (±15.7 years). At the last follow-up visit, 27 eyes (87%) had patent puncti, 1 eye became stenotic again, and 3 eyes were completely obstructed. Twenty-two eyes (71%) showed almost complete disappearance of dye on the fluorescein dye-disappearance test (FDDT). Twenty-five eyes (81%) had symptomatic improvement. No significant complication was reported postoperatively.
ConclusionsPunctoplasty with a radiofrequency surgical unit is a simple and effective method for punctal stenosis.
