Abstract:
After failed implant dacrocystorhinostomy (DCR) first patient underwent endoscopic DCR with removal of embedded intracystic implant (Pawar stent). After one-year, epiphora recurred due to a migrated second stent obstructing the neo-ostium. Second case with prelacrimal pneumatisation had failed left implant DCR due to misplaced stent in the middle meatus. Endoscopic DCR as primary surgery for dacryocystitis avoids such complications.
