Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
Dacryocystitis is the inflammation of the lacrimal sac. Spontaneous resolution does not occur without treatment. [1]Treatment of choice for this disorder is dacryocystorhinostomy(DCR). The previously published literature shows success rate of both the approaches ranges from 63% - 97%. This study intends to compare the final result of surgical management of acquired naso-lacrimal duct obstruction between external DCR and endoscopic endonasal DCR. Total 60 patients were included for DCR operation. Out of which 30 patients underwent endoscopic endonasal DCR in the department of otorhinolaryngology and 30 patients underwent external DCR the department of ophthalmology. Post operative follow up was done for a period of 48 weeks. Silicone tube was removed after 6 weeks and patency test was done in first 4 weeks, 24 weeks and 48 weeks respectively. Post operative complication mainly non-patency of nasolacrimal drainage system occurred near 12% of external DCR group and 15% of those with endoscopic endonasal DCRsurgery at the end of 48 weeks (p value 1.00)
