Lacrimal Surgery: Proposal of a New Surgical Classification of Endoscopic Dacryocistohinostomy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the following year’s authors as Caldwell [5], West [6] and Mosher [7] proposed the intranasal access to the lacrimal sac. However it was just in the last two decades of the past century that the endoscopic approach gained progressive interest, thanks to the exponential affirmation of the modern endoscopic technique. Nowadays the success rate of the two procedures, ex-DCR and endoscopic DCR (e-DCR), are considered equivalent [8-10].

متن کاملAnalysis of the results of surgical endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy: effect of the level of obstruction.
AIM One of the main factors in determining success rate of lacrimal surgery is the level of obstruction in the lacrimal drainage system. There are only few reports which quantify this, and none on endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). METHODS A case series of patients who had endoscopic DCR for anatomical obstruction of the lacrimal drainage system was performed. All patients who had lacrim...
