Abstract

OBJECTIVE:STUDY IS AIMED TO COMPARE DIFFERENT LACRIMAL DRAINAGE SURGERIES

METHODS:THIS IS RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY BETWEEN JAN 2008-AUGUST 2022.FORMAT CREATION,RETRIEVAL OF DATA FROM EMR & ANALYSIS BY SPS22.DESCRIPTION AND CROSS TABULATION USED FOR ANALYSIS

RESULTS:OUR COHORT CONSISTS OF 3383 EYES WITH MEAN AGE OF 51.21.

1818 (53.7%) UNDERWENT DRASHTI LACRIMAL SILICONE IMPLANT,771 (22.8%) UNDERWENT CANULA DCR, 642 (19%) UNDERWENT TCL-DCR.2570 (76%) ARE FEMALES,813 (24%) ARE MALES.3292 (97.3%) ARE ADULT.954 (28.2%) OF AGE GROUP 51-60

2254 (66.6%) PATIENTS UNDERWENT SURGERY ONCE.ON 6 MONTH FOLLOW UP 62.9% OF SILICON IMPLANT, 63.8% OF CANULA DCR, 64.3% OF TCL-DCR ARE SYMPTOMLESS, 0.12% PATIENTS OF SILICON IMPLANT AND 0.15% PATIENTS OF TCL-DCR CAME ROPLAS +VE

CONCLUSION:BASED ON STATISTICAL DATA,DRASHTI LACRIMAL IMPLANT IS MOST EFFECTIVE BECAUSE OF LESS FOLLOW UP FAILURE,LESS SURGICAL TIME,NO IPD ADMISSION.LACRIMAL APPARATUS IS TOLERANT FOR PROLONGED INTUBATION WITH SILICONE IMPLANT
