Abstract
Surgical treatment of lacrimal secretion consists in reducing the product of tears in the lacrimal gland. Denervation of the lacrimal gland was described long ago by Whitwell and remains in current use. Recently, injection of botulinum toxin into the lacrimal gland was successfully carried out. In our department, we have been developing lacrimal duct orifice cauterization for several years. We discuss these three methods and develop the latter in greater detail.
