Methods: In a prospective, randomized, comparative study, endoscopic dacryocystorinostomy without bicanalicular silicone intubation (Group I) and endoscopic dacryocystorinostomy with intubation (Group II) were performed in patients with distal nasolacrimal duct obstructions. The tubes were removed 3 months after surgery in Group II, and the patients were followed up for 6 months after surgery. Therapeutic success was defined as the fluorescein dye disappearance test grade 0\u20131 corresponding with a complete resolution of symptoms. Results: Thirty patients, aged 23\u201386 years, were included in the study. The success rate was 13\/15 (86.67%) in Group I and in 14\/15 (93.33%) in Group II. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.483). Most common complications were granulations that occurred in 1\/15 (6.67%) patient in Group I and in 2\/15 (13.33%) patients in Group II. Adhesions in rhinostomy with epiphora and persistent secretion were observed in 1\/15 (6.67%) patient in Group II. Conclusions: Bicanalicular intubation does not significantly increase the success rate of EDCR in distal nasolacrimal obstruction in adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11185387","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,14]],"date-time":"2022-09-14T23:16:36Z","timestamp":1663197396000},"page":"5387","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Does Bicanalicular Intubation Improve the Outcome of Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0930-6773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Petr","family":"Matou\u0161ek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, 708 52 Ostrava, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Craniofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ostrava, 701 03 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jakub","family":"Lubojack\u00fd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, 708 52 Ostrava, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Craniofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ostrava, 701 03 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michaela","family":"Mas\u00e1rov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, 708 52 Ostrava, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Craniofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ostrava, 701 03 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2117-040X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lenka","family":"\u010c\u00e1balov\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, 708 52 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stanislav","family":"\u010cervenka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, 708 52 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pavel","family":"Kom\u00ednek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology\u2014Head and Neck Surgery, University Hospital Ostrava, 708 52 Ostrava, Czech Republic"},{"name":"Department of Craniofacial Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ostrava, 701 03 Ostrava, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"710","article-title":"Silicone Intubation and Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: A Meta-Analysis","volume":"6","author":"ZhaoWei","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
