ÖZ ABSTRACT
Objective:
To compare the patients in whom the free ends of the silicone tube were fixed using a silicone sleeve, which is a different technique from the knotting method, and the patients in which the free ends of the silicone tube were fixed using the classical knotting technique, in terms of post-operative symptoms and DSR success in dacryocystorhinostomy (DSR).

Materials and Methods: The files of 97 patients who presented with epiphora and were diagnosed with chronic dacryocystitis and underwent unilateral endonasal DSR were reviewed. Two groups were formed as patients in whom the silicone tube was fixed by knotting and patients in whom the silicone tube was fixed with a silicone sleeve. The results of early and late controls were recorded. Information about the presence of epiphora, silicone tube-related irritation symptoms, and whether the lacrimal drainage system was open or not were recorded.

Results: The duration of silicone tube in the canal was longer in Group 1 (p=0.015). There was no significant difference in the number of recurrences (p=0.618). Recurrence occurred later in Group 1 (p=0.038). Irritation symptoms were significantly more in Group 2 (p=0.001).

Conclusion: Fixation with silicone sleeve may be an alternative to knotting in terms of less irritation complaints and better fixation
