[Concerning the Toti operative procedure (author's transl)]. 1979

H Brewitt, and B Huerkamp

It has been shown by a series of 127 dacryocystorhinostomies using the Toti technique, that this operation, which is independent of age or aethiology, can be performed using a simple procedure and a short hospitalization time. The success rate of over 90% indicates that this operation should be used as a standard procedure in preference to the intubation with polyethylene tubes.
