[Dacryocystorhinostomy with temporary intubation using a Hatt set].
During the period between June 1987 and March 1988 the authors performed 10 dacryocystorhinostomies with temporary intubation of the new efferent pathways, using a Hatt set. Three patients removed the set themselves during the early postoperative period. The authors evaluate thus seven successful intubations lasting two months. The observation period is six to eighteen months. In six patients the new efferent pathways are patent without signs of epiphora not even when lacrimation is irritated. One patient developed during the postoperative period torpid rhinitis persisting for two months and a block at the junction of the canaliculi. The results even in this small group are encouraging and the authors assume that temporary intubation with a Hatt set, which was very well tolerated by the patients, will enhances the success of this promising operation.
