 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 KTP laser treatment of lacrimal duct obstruction [Abstract] Objective To observe the KTP (KTP) laser therapy for various reasons, due to the effect of lacrimal duct obstruction. Methods Core 9, with a needle probe lacrimal probe lacrimal duct obstruction Office, pull out the needle core, and then insert the KTP laser fibers, laser-, and clear the tear duct. The results of treatment of lacrimal duct obstruction causes 256, successful 196, failed 60. Conclusions KTP laser treatment of lacrimal duct obstruction due to various reasons, simple operation, indications of extensive tissue damage and small, the lacrimal duct obstruction preferred treatment, but still can not completely replace the conventional dacryocystorhinostomy. [Keywords:] Laser; lacrimal duct obstruction I Division from 2002 to October 2004 using potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser treatment of lacrimal duct obstruction 218 cases 256, and achieved good effect, these are as follows. 1 Data and methods 1.1 General information on this group a total of 218 patients (256 eyes) were male and 78 patients (85), female 140 cases (171), age 14 to 72 years of age, duration from 3 months to 25 years. 256 eyes, the tears of small points, occlusion in 2 eyes, lacrimal duct obstruction, lacrimal mains block 88, nasolacrimal duct obstruction and chronic dacryocystitis 140, after dacryocystorhinostomy unreasonable 6, multiple block 20. 1.2 Equipment (1) Wuhan Huagong Laser Engineering Co., Ltd. produce fibers with a conduction lacrimal KTP laser, wavelength 532nm, pulse frequency 3000 ~ 5000PPS, power output 8 ~ 15W, adjustable, with 0.3 ~ 0.6mm optical fiber transmission. (2) a special Hollow Road on the 9th of laser needle (with needle core). (3) blunt needle lacrimal irrigation, conventional washing items. 1.3 Methods 1.3.1 Indications point of lacrimal occlusion, stenosis, canalicular tears mains obstruction, nasal duct obstruction, chronic dacryocystitis, rhino
