AB  - BACKGROUND: Bicanaliculo-nasal intubation (BCNI) is considered as the method of 
      choice in the treatment of naso-lacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) in children. 
      Side effects of BCNI are possible and monocanaliculo-nasal intubation (MCNI) 
      provides the same results with fewer complications. Nevertheless, most of the 
      short duration monocanaliculonasal stent complications concern the migration of 
      the silicone stent in the canaliculus. We thought that this fact may be linked 
      with the shape of the head of the monocanaliculonasal stent and decided to alter 
      it. METHODS: Monocanaliculo-nasal intubation was performed in 52 cases, in 41 
      children, using a modified silicone mono-canalicular stent (large collarette 
      stent). RESULTS: The results were compared with a reference series of 52 cases 
      treated with the classical silicone mono-canalicular stent intubation. The rate 
      of success was comparable in both series, but fewer complications were observed 
      with this new device. In particular, no migration of the silicone in the 
      canaliculus occurred. CONCLUSION: The authors state that this modified 
      mono-canalicular stent decreases the lacrimo-nasal intubation morbidity without 
      altering its effectiveness.
