The authors answer the frequently questions concerning conjunctivo-cystorhinostomy(CDCR) according to Jones. The surgery is successful in 80-90 %. Theminimal age for the surgery is 10 years of age; patients 70 years old and oldertolerate the operation less well. The basic prerequisite for its indication is goodmotivation of the patient. In the glass tube, the obstruction is not common, andthere is the reason why the authors prefer them. The tube remains in situ duringthe whole life. In contrast to dacryocystorhinostomy, in CDCR the complicationratio is higher - up to 2/5 of patients. Fixation of the tube to the eyelid with a stitchlowers the number of commonest complications (loss and migration of the tubemedially).
Key words: Conjunctivocystorhinostomy, motivation, complications
