A new simple method for canalicular intubation.

A series of ten patients had canalicular intubation with Teflon and Silastic tubing. Our experience has shown that Silastic tubing appears to be more pliable, has good capillary action, and causes less irritation within the canalicular system than polyethylene or Teflon tubing. Five patients had very good results, three patients were improved, and there were two failures. We believe that this technique is useful in selected cases where there is an obstructed canaliculus near its junction with the sac. There should be only minimal scarring in the medial canthal area for the greatest chance of success with this method.

Basal cell carcinoma recurrence: early diagnosis and surgical treatment.

Twelve patients with twenty recurrent basal cell carcinomas of the lids and adnexa were studied. Observations on the behavior and treatment were discussed. Suggested management was also given. The radical aggressive approach towards these recurrent lesions is suggested, although initial excision of some basal cells need not be as radical. As in all malignancies the prompt recognition of lesion, combined with appropriate treatment and regular follow-up are emphasized to effect a cure with good functional and cosmetic results.
