Popis: The article presents the results of a monocentric randomized open prospective study conducted from 2008 to 2013. Lacrimal intubation with Mini-Monoka and Monoka silicone stents (mono- or bicanalicular) or with SRS and Ritleng ("FCI", France) stents for dacryostenosis of different localization was performed in 151 patients (203 eyes). The follow-up period was 12 months after the extubation. Patient examination and monitoring included collection of subjective Munk scores for epiphora, lacrimal scintigraphy and bulbar hyperemia evaluation. Though all interventions were proved to be effective, the authors came to the conclusion that, bicanalicular Mini-Monoka and Monoka stents were associated with fewer complications as compared with bicanalicular SRS and Ritleng stents.
