Abstract

Dacryocystorhinostomy is widely considered as the standard treatment due to chronic nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). These procedures include standard external Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), non-laser endonasal endoscopic DCR (EN-DCR), and endonasal endoscopic laser DCR (LA-DCR)1. However external DCR is considered as the gold standard surgical method in the treatment of NLDO. Our study describes a comparative study of success rates of external DCR surgery, wherein 30 patients each were included for with and without silicone tube intubation usage respectively. The results showed a higher success rate (90%) in outcome of external DCR surgery using silicone tube intubation as compared to that without its usage (80%). Therefore, this study was aimed to shed further light on EXDCR surgery using intubation stents. The study also helps in shedding light on better post-operative management and obtaining higher success rates in case of EX-DCR surgery.
