[Partial canaliculus transplantation--further results].
Partial canaliculus transplantation is a suitable method of substituting the canaliculus when the nasal lower lid region has been damaged by tumor. Two cases are described, illustrating that the area of indication may be extended to substitution surgery of parts of the canaliculus next to the lacrimal sac and that, analogously to complete lid transplantation, the method can be combined with sliding plasty. During the observation period, which lasted for 17 to 20 months, the partial canaliculus transplantations followed up proved to be patent.
