Abstract

The aim of the publication is to demonstrate the influence of intraoperatively administered mitomycin C on the clinical results of endoscopic nasolacrimal duct anastomosis. The procedure was performed using a diode laser in 60 patients with tear duct obstruction. Mitomycin C has not been administered to all patients. In the second study group, the final part of the procedure was the application of a sponge soaked with mitomycin C at the site of the stoma within the nasal passage. Tear duct patency was obtained in 84% of patients in the group operated on with mitomicin C and in 71% of patients who underwent this procedure without mitomycin C. The use of mitomycin C increased the effectiveness of the procedure by 13%.


The results obtained in the study indicate that the intraoperative use of mitomycin C during the procedure of nasolacrimal duct anastomosis with diode laser increases its effectiveness.
