USE OF MITOMYCIN IN ENDONASAL DCR
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 20
Abstract
Endonasal dacrocystohinostomy (DCR) is the surgery used for chronic dacrocystitis, where the patient has epiphora caused by blocking of nasolacrimal duct, leading to collection of lacrimal fluid in the sac which ends in inflammation of the lacrimal sac. As the success rate of endonasal DCR varies from 50---97%, various different methods are used to have high success rate. It is very important to make the ostium at the level of the common canaliculus. If the exposure of lacrimal sac is not sufficient then even though Mitomycin is applied the rate of failure remains high.
