Abstract
In the obstruction of nasolacimal duct in cases of chronic dacryocystitis, various techniques of dacryocystorhinostomy are used for the better result. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy is used widely used nowadays. In some cases recurrence of obstruction occurs due to inflammation and adhesion of nasolacrimal or the canaliculi. Various methods are used to prevent this recurrence like usage of Mitomycin C intra-operatively or placement of silicone stent.
In this study, we have compared the outcomes of endoscopic DCR with and without bicanalicular silicone stenting on 20 cases of chronic dacryocystitis (post saccal obstruction) for each group.
We observed that endoscopic DCR with placement of silicone stent yielded better results than just making the stoma on the lateral wall.
