Aim: To investigate the feasibility of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) with bicanalicular silicone tube intubation for treating chronic dacryocystitis secondary to nasolacrimal duct stent (NDS) incarceration.

Methods: En-DCRs were performed on 44 chronic dacryocystitis patients (46 eyes) secondary to NDS incarceration from April 2016 to October 2022.
