Purpose:
|
To present the results of our two recent publications on the reliability of Air Bubble Test (ABT) and Flourscein Dye Disappearance Test (FDDT)in approaching patients with epiphora after External Endoscopic DCR procedure
|
|
Methods:
|
In a retrospective study, results of FDDT (176 eyes of 176 patients) and ABT (85 eyes of 77 patients) were tested against the success rates after both external and endoscopic endonasal DCR and bicanalicular silicone intubation. Subjective success was defined as no symptom or intermittent excess tear (without overflow) on cold weather and anatomical success as free passage on irrigation test. Irrigation was performed at the time of tube removal or at the last follow up.
|
|
Results:
|
FDDT showed a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 86.3% for the anatomical success. They were 85.7% and 88.2% for the subjective success, accordingly.
ABT showed a sensitivity of 82.1% and specificity of 100% for the anatomical success after Ext-DCR. Sensitivity and specificity were 83.9% and 75% for the functional success.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
New Paradigm provides a less invasive approach in which the number of diagnostic lacrimal probing and irrigation is decreased.
