Jones tube Videos

This narrated video demonstrates a modified endoscopic DCR and Lester Jones lacrimal bypass tube insertion, which is also known as conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy. The modified endoscopic DCR has a nasal mucosal window instead of a flap and a smaller rhinostomy that may provide better bony support for the tube.

The narrated video demonstrates the insertion of a Lester Jones lacrimal bypass tube in a patient who has previously had a medial canthal tumour excision. Jones tubes are challenging in these circumstances as they frequently migrate inwards. We explore the possible locations that the tube can be sited to try and improve stability.

This video demonstrates a modified DCR and Lester Jones tube insertion. The DCR has a smaller mucosal window and osteotomy than normal, which may help secure the Jones tube.

This narrated video demonstrates the insertion of a Lester Jones tube in a patient who has previously had a DCR. This video explores the possible medial canthal locations for the mouth of the Jones tube

This video demonstrates a modified endo DCR and Lester Jones tube lacrimal drainage tube insertion. The DCR has a smaller ostium and no flaps. This patient has had previous medial canthal tumour excision surgery resulting in medial ankyloblepharon. This is divided prior to insertion of the Jones tube. The lack of medial canthal support can […]

A narrated video demonstrating a medially migrated Lester Jones tube being removed. This patient had had a medial canthal tumour excised with loss of the canalicular apparatus. A Lester Jones tube had been inserted to combat the epiphora. However, the tube migrated medially because of the lack of medial canthal support from the tumour excision […]
