Abstract :

Purpose of study is to describe technique, success rate of endonasal DCRs and to report complications. Prospective, interventional consecutive study was performed at a tertiary eye care center. Total 40 patients were operated from August 2013 to April 2014. All patients were followed at 1 week, 1 month and 6 month postop. Anatomic success with a patent nasolacrimal duct was achieved in all 40 patients at post–op day 7 & post–op 1 month. Complications: Bleeding on first postop day was found in 3 patients and Was controlled with nasal packing. Late recurrence of epiphora in 4 patients at 6 months was corrected by revision endoscopic surgery successfully.
