[Results of 12 years of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy].

Introduction: Chronic inflammation of nasolacrimal duct determines obstruction of the lacrimal flow and is called chronic dacryocystitis. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) can solve this obstruction by opening the lacrimal sac directly to the nasal cavity, avoiding external scars in a simple, safe way.

Material And Method: We reviewed all cases operated using this technique between January 1996 and June 2008.
