Endoscopic laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (LADCR) shows high success in primary epiphora and chronic dacryocystitis treatment. Revision LADCR success is less favorable, requiring further study.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Epiphora and chronic dacryocystitis significantly impact quality of life.
  • Surgical intervention is often necessary for persistent cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (LADCR).
  • To assess LADCR outcomes in primary and revision surgeries for epiphora and chronic dacryocystitis.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective review of 17 patients (19 LADCR procedures).
  • 12 primary and 7 revision cases were analyzed.
  • Follow-up averaged 15.6 months.

Main Results:

  • 100% success rate in primary LADCR procedures.
  • 60% success rate in revision LADCR procedures.

  • Two cases of conjunctival fistula resolved without complications.

    • Conclusions:

    • Primary LADCR efficacy is comparable to external dacryocystorhinostomy.
    • Revision LADCR success is less favorable, but requires more data.
    • LADCR is a viable endoscopic treatment for dacryocystitis.
