ABSTRACT

Injury and disruption of the canaliculi of the lacrimal excretory system commonly occur from laceration or shearing trauma. This type of injury will likely lead to dysfunction of tear flow from the palpebral sulcus and chronic epiphora. The goal of this article is to give a step-by-step review of canalicular repair.

KEYWORDS

Repair of canalicular laceration - repair of eyelid laceration - eyelid trauma
