    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical procedure to restore lacrimal drainage.
    • Various DCR techniques exist, each with specific advantages and disadvantages.
    • Optimizing surgical approaches remains a focus in managing nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the evolution of dacryocystorhinostomy techniques.
    • To discuss the indications for DCR surgery.
    • To present and detail a simplified surgical technique for DCR.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing dacryocystorhinostomy procedures.
    • Detailed illustration and description of a simplified surgical technique.
    • Emphasis on preserving nasal mucosa and avoiding mucosal suturing.

  • Utilization of a silicone sponge stent for osteotomy patency.

    • Main Results:

    • The simplified technique eliminates the need for extensive lacrimal bone removal.
    • It avoids the necessity of suturing nasal mucosa to sac flaps.
    • A comfortable, easily inserted/removed silicone sponge stent aids in preventing osteotomy closure.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented simplified dacryocystorhinostomy technique offers several advantages over traditional methods.
    • This approach streamlines the surgical process while maintaining efficacy.
    • The use of a silicone stent is a key feature for ensuring long-term patency.
