Résumé
To compare the accuracy and positive predictive values of the air bubble test (ABT) and endoscopic Jones I test for assessment of anatomical and functional success after diode laser transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy (T-DCR). This cross-sectional study included 60 eyes of 56 patients who underwent T-DCR by a single surgical team from January 2016 to December 2018. All the 56 patients (60 eyes) underwent lacrimal syringing, endoscopic Jones I test, and ABT. Anatomical success was considered as a free passage of fluid with no reflux on the irrigation test. Functional success was defined as the resolution or improvement of epiphora (Munk score of 0 or 1). The results of irrigation test, endoscopic Jones I test, and ABT were used to calculate the accuracy and positive predictive values (PPVs) of ABT and endoscopic Jones I test for assessment of anatomical and functional success (Munk score of 0 or 1) after T-DCR. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. All statistical evaluations were performed using SPSS software. There were 60 T-DCR procedures in 56 patients (82.1% women; 46 patients) with a mean age of 56.4 years (standard deviation: 15.7; range from 29 to 92). The mean follow up was 8.1 months. Overall anatomical and functional success rates were 83.3% (50/60) and 73.3% (44/60), respectively. The PPV of endoscopic Jones I test in anatomical success and functional success was 100% and 88%, respectively. The accuracy of this test in anatomical and functional success was 100% and 81.25%, respectively. The PPV of ABT in anatomical success and functional success was 100% and 90.4%, respectively. The accuracy of this test in anatomical and functional success was 92% and 80.65%, respectively. In conclusion, both endoscopic Jones I test and ABT showed PPV of 100% to detect anatomical success after T-DCR; the endoscopic Jones I test and ABT had 88% and 90.4% of PPV on evaluation of functional success, respectively. Both tests showed good accuracy in the assessment of anatomical and functional success after T-DCR. These outcomes may indicate that ABT could substitute Jones I test on postoperative DCR assessment.
