AIM:To evaluate the effect of microscopic anastomosis for traumatic canalicular.·METHODS:Totally 87 patients with traumatic canalicular were found the nasal lacrimal duct stump under the microscope,and they underwent microscopic anastomosis surgery by epidural catheter. After that,epidural catheter tube were detained about 2-3 months and follow-up time were 3-24 months after operation.·RESULTS:Lacrimal patency without epiphora were occurred in 68 patients after extubation; unobstructed lacrimal irrigation with epiphora in 8 cases and stenosis in 6 cases. ·CONCLUSION:Microscopic anastomosis by the epidural catheter frame is an ideal method for traumatic canalicular.
