OBJECTIVES To determine the outcome and complications of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy without stenting at Ziauddin University Hospital, Keamari, Karachi, Pakistan. METHODOLOGY Fifty Patients who underwent endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy from August 2011 to July 2012 at Department of Ophthalmology, Ziauddin University Hospital, Keamari, Karachi were included.Data regarding the Outcomes and complications were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Among the 50 patients there were 38%(n=19) males and 62%(n=31) females.Their age ranged from 15 to 60 years, mean age was 43.54 ± 9.36 years. Majority of patients were in the age ranging from 31 to 50 years. The success rate after 6 months of surgery was 92% without any significant complications. CONCLUSION Endoscopicdacryocystorhinostomy without stent is minimally invasive technique with less complications and good success state. In addition it gives no facial scar.
