Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the current work is to assess the efficiency and success rate of endodiathermy probe followed by intubation in children more than 2 years compared to the success rate of intubation (as a standard method) which varies from 75% to 85% in several studies


Clinical Trial Description

The study will be conducted on children above 2 year and will be divided randomly into two groups:

Group (I): 80 eyes of children suffer from congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction will have probing with metal probe and then intubation with bicanlicular silicon tube.
