Abstract
Background: To Study the surgical outcomes of Endoscopic Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) technique with and without the use of silicon stent intra operatively. Materials and Methods: This is a combined retrospective and prospective study to evaluate the different causes of recurrence of epiphora in a case of endonasal DCR operation. Results – Out of 40 cases of Endoscopic endonasal DCR 34 (85%) cases were successful and only 6 (15%) cases were failure.
