The influence of chronic adenitis and its surgical treatment on tear production and osmolarity was studied. A long-term follow-up (2-65 months) after lacrimal gland extirpation showed a trend for recovery of both basal and reflex lacrimation. Comparison of complaints and functional and pathohistological results allowed to consider retention cysts as a risk factor for dry eye syndrome in the postoperative period.
