ABSTRACT
The problem of chronic dacryocystitis remains relevant up to now due to a significant number of such patients, the need for comprehensive examination and treatment usually involving an ophthalmologist and otolaryngologist. The objective of the work is to optimize of surgical treatment of patients with chronic distal obstruction of lacrimal passages using the method of radiofrequency surgery with a wavelength of 4 MHz. 19 patients with chronic dacryocystitis underwent surgery using the proposed method. The wireless lowtraumatic effect makes it possible to quickly and accurately carry out a surgical incision, providing good and rapid healing without the formation of granulation tissue. A silicone stent installation facilitates postoperative management of post-surgery period and generates stable dacryocystostoma.
