Abstract
Persistent epiphora significantly worsens one’s quality of life. A commonly known method of treatment of complete obstruction of the lacrimal canaliculi is conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy with placement of a glass Jones tube. Unfortunately, the use of such a prosthesis of the lacrimal tract often results in certain complications, the most frequent of which include extrusion or superior and inferior migration. For the last several years, a modified version of the Jones tube—the StopLoss Jones tube (SLJT)—has been available. It almost eliminates the possibility of extrusion. However, inferior migration still remains an important problem. When that happens, it is necessary to proceed surgically. In this paper, we describe an endoscopically-guided technique of management of an inferiorly dislocated SLJT.
