A simplified method of monocanalicular silicone intubation.
We present a simplified method of monocanalicular silicone intubation for the repair of single canaliculus lacerations. A monocanalicular loop of tubing running from the punctum, through the lacerated canaliculus, and out the cutdown site over the lacrimal sac, provides a secure silicone tube stent.
