What are the complications of dacryocystectomy

summary

Recently, I always feel that my eyes have a lot of white secretions, and I always like to shed tears. So I went to the hospital for an examination. The doctor suggested that the disease should be controlled by dacryocystectomy, and also consulted about some complications. Let's talk about the complications of dacryocystectomy.

What are the complications of dacryocystectomy

First, the common complication is the recurrence of dacryocystitis. The medial canthus ligament is an important anatomical sign to find the dacryocyst. Due to long-term chronic inflammation, the dacryocyst often changes greatly, and the anatomical relationship with its surrounding tissue is unclear. Therefore, the medial canthus ligament and anterior lacrimal ridge should be found first during the operation. After cutting the medial canthus ligament, the dacryocyst is under the fascia under the temporal medial canthus ligament of the anterior lacrimal ridge.

Second, there is even peridacryocystitis. In general, the skin in the lacrimal sac area at the root of the nose will be red, swollen, hot and painful, even swelling on the same side of the face, sometimes accompanied by swelling and tenderness of the pre ear and submandibular lymph nodes, tears in the eyes, and purulent secretions overflow at the lacrimal dots, which can break through from the skin when the abscess is limited.

Third: most of them are lacrimal, and there are many secretions in the eyes. Squeezing the lacrimal sac area, you can see a large number of purulent or serous secretions from the lacrimal dots, and the lacrimal passage is not smooth. The whole body was treated with antibiotics for 3-5 days, the dressing was changed the next day, and the skin sutures were removed after 5 days. There may be a small amount of bleeding in the nasal cavity, which does not need to be treated.

matters needing attention

Dacryocystectomy is very easy to relapse, so patients should pay attention to friends, should be in accordance with the doctor's advice, when found to have infection, timely go to the hospital for examination, but if there is no problem, do not rush for success, indiscriminate use of drugs.
