Abstract
• A new procedure for the reconstruction of the tear duct system is advocated. After partial ethmoidectomy and incising the conjunctiva at the inner canthus, a superiorly based flap is secured from the septum and pulled into the defect; then it is secured by 7-0 sutures. This flap contains mucous membrane and cartilage. (Arch Otolaryngol106:118-119, 1980)Keywords
