Abstract
After stent removal in patients with nasolacrimal stent obstruction, the immediate patency rate was 77%; however, the rate of maintained patency decreased progressively with time. The major factor negatively affecting immediate and maintained patency after stent removal was contraction of the lacrimal sac at the time of stent removal.
