AIM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a newly designed silicone tube for the repair of canalicular lacerations. METHODS: This was a prospective clinical study. Data were analyzed from 47 eyes of 47 patients presenting with traumatic canalicular laceration in our hospital from January 2013 to October 2015. The newly designed silicone tubes were inserted through the lacrimal punctum and left in the bicanaliculi for 3mo. Dates of the lacrimal duct patency, epiphora, and eyelid shape were recorded. RESULTS: Surgery was performed successfully in all cases. No complications associated with the silicone tubes occurred. In total, 41 patients (87.23%) achieved complete success, 4 patients (8.51%) achieved partial success, and 2 patients (4.26%) had surgical failure. CONCLUSION: The newly designed silicone tube is an effective and atraumatic tool for the management of canalicular lacerations. The operation process is simple, and is easy to grasp for the surgeon.

Lesion Severity

Fourteen dogs with perianal fistulas were entered into a prospective clinical study to investigate the effects of long-term azathioprine on clinical outcome and to determine if the clinical results correlated with lymphocyte blastogenesis tests. Complete remission of perianal fistulas was seen in eight (57%) of 14 dogs; partial remission occurred in one (7%) dog; and no response was detected in five (36%) dogs. The results of lymphocyte blastogenesis assays did not correlate with therapeutic response.
