Abstract :

AIM To determine the causes of failed DCR and postoperative results of secondary external DCR with silicone tube intubation MATERIALS AND METHODS 12 patients of failed DCR were retrospectively studied from January 2009 to December 2013. All the patients with persistent teå and regurgitation of fluid were included in the study. Patients with cannalicular block and nasal pathology were excluded from the study. RESULTS The most common cause of failed DCR was intact sac and inadequate size of bony ostium. The success rate after seconday surgery was 90.91% CONCLUSION Proper identification of sac and making adequate size of bony ostium can prevent failure of primary DCR. Secondary DCR with silicone tube intubation gives good results for failed DCR RESULTS The most common cause of failed DCR was intact sac and inadequate size of bony ostium. The success rate after seconday surgery was 90.91% CONCLUSION Proper identification of sac and making adequate size of bony ostium can prevent failure of primary DCR. Secondary DCR with silicone tube intubation gives good results for failed DCR
