Aim: This research was designed to make a comparison of the treatment outcomes of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) in nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) with and without chronic dacryocystitis.
Methods: NLDO (obstruction group) and chronic dacryocystitis (dacryocystitis group) patients treated with En-DCR in the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from March 2021 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to CT dacryocystography, patients in each group were assigned into the high obstruction group (obstruction located in the lacrimal sac) and the low obstruction group (obstruction located at or below the junction of the nasolacrimal duct and dacryocystis).
