[A simple method to perform conjunctivorhinostomy (author's transl)]. 1977

Y Lähde, and H McCaskie, and P Miettinen

We have done conjunctivorhinostomy with a new and more simple method than that of Chandler et al. (1974/1975). A venous cannule is pushed through the conjunctiva via ductus nasolacrimalis to the nose. When dye-marked physiological salt solution can be injected through the needle into the nose, we can be sure to have the right position. Now the needle is pulled away and the plastic cannula sutured to the conjunctiva. We have made this new operation only a few times and we are expecting good results.
