Endoscopic ultrasonic dacryocystorhinostomy: clinical profile and outcomes.

Ultrasonic endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (UEnDCR) is emerging alternative modality of managing nasolacrimal duct obstructions. The aim of this study was to report the clinical profile and outcomes with a UEnDCR with mitomycin C and silicone intubation. Prospective interventional case series performed on all consecutive patients undergoing an ultrasonic endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy over a 1-year period from September 2013 to October 2014.

Long-term outcomes of powered endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy in acute dacryocystitis.

Objectives/hypothesis: Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is rapidly gaining recognition as a primary modality of management in acute dacryocystitis and lacrimal abscess. The purpose of the present study is to report long-term outcomes of powered endoscopic DCR in cases of acute dacryocystitis.

Study Design: Prospective interventional case series.
