Endonasal endoscopic laser dacryocystorhinostomy is a well-tolerated and effective treatment for nasolacrimal duct obstruction, with most patients recommending the procedure. Younger patients with shorter symptom duration and no prior surgery experience the best outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) is a common condition affecting tear drainage.
  • Endonasal endoscopic laser dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is an established surgical technique for NLDO.
  • Patient acceptability of endonasal endoscopic laser DCR has not been extensively studied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient acceptability of endonasal endoscopic laser DCR.
  • To identify factors influencing the success rate of this procedure.
  • To assess patient-reported outcomes and procedural discomfort.

Main Methods:

  • 46 eyes from 40 patients underwent endonasal endoscopic laser DCR.
  • Patient perspectives were gathered using a questionnaire.
  • Anatomical success was confirmed by postoperative sac washout.

  • Data were analyzed to correlate success rates with age, symptom duration, and prior surgery.

    • Main Results:

    • 65.22% of patients reported complete cure, 23.91% partial resolution.
    • 91.3% achieved anatomical success via sac washout.
    • 86.12% of patients recommended the procedure.
    • Younger patients, shorter symptom duration (<6 months), and no prior surgery correlated with significantly higher success rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Endonasal endoscopic laser DCR is effective, well-tolerated, and recommended by patients.
    • Discomfort during the procedure is generally minimal.
    • Optimal candidates include younger patients with recent symptoms and no prior surgical history.
