Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy by the posterior lacrimal sac approach without use of lacrimal stents or harvest of mucosal flaps as a valid surgical procedure for the treatment of an obstruction of the lacrimal pathways. A retrospective evaluation was conducted in a cohort of 75 patients between 2007 and 2011. A total of 78 endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomies were analyzed in 75 patients. After a mean follow-up of 25.7 months (minimum 12 months), 93.3% had a complete relief of symptoms after surgery. Our experience appears to confirm that the endoscopic posterior lacrimal sac approach with no stent insertion or mucosal flaps creation is a good alternative to other known endoscopic procedures.
