No results posted yet for this study

Summary

While external DCR is the gold standard procedure for primary NLDO as well as complicated cases, SI with MMC could achieve comparable success rates in primary acquired NLDO, hence should be considered as an alternative as a safe and minimally invasive procedure.

  • Primary Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

external dacryocystorhinostomy

external DCR under general anesthesia with standard sterilization procedures.

PROCEDURE
