Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Otorhinolaryngology

Background:

  • Epiphora, or excessive tearing, often results from nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
  • Conventional dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) approaches can be invasive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review conventional, endoscopic, and laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy techniques.
  • To describe the technical steps of an endonasal laser-assisted DCR procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of DCR surgical approaches.
  • Description of the endonasal laser-assisted DCR technique.

Main Results:

  • Endonasal laser-assisted DCR provides relief for epiphora.
  • This procedure can be performed safely as a day-case surgery.
