Congenital Lacrimal Stenosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Microbiological Examination of Children Operated for Congenital Lacrimal Stenosis
Children with congenital lacrimal stenosis are treated by probing and intubation of the
lacrimal drainage system.
Hypothesis: Microbiological findings at the time of insertion and removal of the silicon
intubation have an influence on the clinical outcome and success rate of the surgical
treatment. Microbiological specimens are taken from conjunctiva and nasal mucosa during the
two procedures under general anaesthesia and from the silicon tube after removal and
examined for bacterial contamination.
