Surgery on the lacrimal system in 296 children was performed at the Münster University Eye Hospital from 1987 to 1992. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The age of the patients, etiology of the obstruction and surgical strategy were analyzed retrospetively. A questionnaire was sent to the parents to allow evaluation of the results and subjective satisfaction. RESULTS: A total of 181 questionnaires was sent back to our hospital (results of 210 operations, including 24 preoperations). Of the 124 children were up to 3 years old. 197 obstructions were congenital, 7 traumatic, 4 results of inflammation, and 2 iatrogenic. In 184 patients we performed intubation with silicon tubing. Seven patients had canalicular surgery, and 19 patients had dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). After intubation 87.5% of patients were practically without complaints, after canalicular surgery 85.7% and after DCR 78.9%. Five patients suffered from severe problems and had to be reoperated.
