Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Comparative evaluation of external dacryocystorhinostomy with nasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy was carried out at a tertiary Hospital. Total 100 cases of chronic dacryocystitis were included of which 50 were subjected to External dacryocystorhinostomy and the remaining 50 were treated by nasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy. The success rate in case of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy was 90% (45 cases; 5failure) whereas in intranasal external dacryocystorhinostomy was 82% (41 cases; 9 failure) The success rate was more in case of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy as compared to external dacryocystorhinostomy. Endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy should take over in future
