Paediatric powered endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy.

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is indicated in children with persistent nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). Endoscopic endonasal DCR has been successfully performed in both adults and children, with success rates similar to that of external DCR. This paper aims to evaluate the outcomes of paediatric patients undergoing endonasal endoscopic DCR at a district general hospital.
