Comparison of Crawford and Nunchaku Tubes in Dacryoendoscopy-Guided Silicone Intubation for Primary Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction
Crawford and Nunchaku-style tubes showed similar success rates. Nunchaku-style tubes reduce the need for nasal manipulation and extrusion risk but increase punctal slit risk. Clinicians should consider these differences when choosing tube type and optimizing surgical techniques.
