Abstract:
Transcanalicular microendoscopic diode laser DCR combined with 5-mm balloon dacryoplasty is an innovative procedure in lacrimal surgery. This procedure is minimally invasive and provides the possibility to fill the gap between the first step procedures (LDP, MDP) and external or internal DCR.
