title: Bicanalicular laceration managed with two Mini-Monoka monocanalicular stents.
abstract: Bicanalicular lacerations have been traditionally managed using bicanalicular nasal intubation or annular stents. The Mini Monoka monocanalicular stent has been described for the management of monocanalicular lacerations. A bicanalicular laceration can also be successfully managed using two Mini Monoka monocanalicular stents, and this technique has several advantages. We report this simple and minimally invasive alternative in the management of bicanalicular laceration.
