Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure to restore tear drainage.
  • Traditional DCR can involve significant trauma to medial orbital tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the use of the rigid Hopkins endoscope in dacryocystorhinostomy.
  • To assess the potential for simplifying the DCR operation and reducing tissue trauma.

Main Methods:

  • Application of the rigid Hopkins endoscope during dacryocystorhinostomy procedures.
  • Focus on anatomical landmarks and surgical technique guided by endoscopic visualization.

Main Results:

  • The rigid Hopkins endoscope facilitates a simplified surgical approach.
  • This technique helps prevent unnecessary trauma to medial orbital tissues.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy using the rigid Hopkins endoscope is a viable, less traumatic surgical option.
  • Mastery of relevant surgical anatomy is crucial for successful outcomes in endoscopic DCR.
