Abstract Body:
Purpose: We describe a novel surgical technique of canalicular reconstruction that involves a punctoplasty and canalicular marsupialization using sutures.
Study Design: Case series
Methods: Twenty-six patients were included in the study and followed for 6 months
Results: Success was defined as patent punctum and absence of clinically significant epiphora. We obtained a success rate of 82%. Conclusions: This procedure could be useful in cases of inflammatory and recurrent punctal stenosis.
