This does not facilitate the sac incision site over the internal common ...

BACKGROUND Nasolacrimal duct obstruction is a common problem which can be corrected by dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). The gold standard treatment for this is DCR operation through an external approach. Development of endoscopic sinus surgery and endoscopic DCR performed through intranasal route is a major recent development in this field. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to find out the succ...
