Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is an operative procedure performed for obstructed nasolacrimal passage. The procedure has a failure rate of 10% due to postoperative infection, granulation tissue formation and inadequate closure of anastomosis ostium in conventional DCR. Author has developed Pawar Implant - a silicon implant in 19851,2 which has undergone some modifications over the years. The new modified Implant has no chances of getting expelled post operatively due to haptics of the collar. Implant DCR is indicated in the patients complaining of epiphora due to the obstruction in nasolacrimal duct due to Chronic Dacryocystits; Mucocoel / Pyocoel; Lacrimal-fistula; failed cases of conventional and other varieties of DCR.
