Popis:	Initial treatment of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstructions, by a variety of methods, is highly successful. However, a small percentage of obstructions either are not cleared or recur. Silicone intubation has been reported highly successful in treatment of these obstructions. This paper describes our experience with infracturing the inferior turbinate (described originally by Jones and Wobig) as being at least as highly successful, safe, and easy to perform.
