MUCOSAL FLAPS STABILISATION IN ENDONASAL DCR
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endo DCR surgical techniques have evolved, giving results comparable to external DCR. Mucosal flaps based DCR has good outcome; still failures are encountered due to unpredicted healing from unstable mucosal flaps causing faulty approximation of these flaps. This aspect of DCR Surgery has to be addressed for better outcome. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of endonasal DCR with mucosal flap stabilization MATERIALS AND METHODS This Prospective observational study included 50 patients of chronic Dacryocystitis who underwent DCR surgery. In these patients, DCR was done with our mucosal flaps stabilization technique using Merocel tamponade and results were analysed. RESULTS Authors have utilized this technique in 50 procedures after a minimal follow-up of 6 months. Our success rate is 96 percent. CONCLUSION Mucosal flap stabilization in post-operative period is crucial factor in the success of DCR surgery, our technique of DCR using Merocel Tamponade is simple and effective and it results in better outcome.
