When, if at all, do you use nasolacrimal duct stents to prevent stenosis/obstruction when treating skin, sinonasal, or other mid-facial H&N cancers with radiation therapy?

If so, what is your selection criteria? How long do they remain in place? Do you have any dose constraints to the nasolacrimal duct?
