Objective: Prolapse of silicone tubes is one of the most common complications after bicanalicular intubation of the lacrimal system. This study describes a new method of repositioning prolapsed silicone tubes by using a suture-probe. Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review of 12 patients who experienced complete silicone tube prolapse after bicanalicular intubation. The silicone tube was repositioned by using a suture-probe; a double-stranded suture was placed in the lacrimal...
