Abstract

Over the past ten years the interest in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) has increased with improved instruments and endoscopic surgery skills. Although endoscopic DCR was first described in 1989, the technique has evolved over the past 15 years as the understanding of the anatomy and ability to achieve reliable and consistent results has improved. Powered endoscopic DCR is a reliable and effective technique for managing primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction in adults and children and for revision DCR.

Endoscopic treatment of nasolacrimal sac obstruction secondary to fibrous dysplasia of paranasal sinuses.

Fibrous dysplasia involving paranasal sinuses mostly has asymptomatic features, but sometimes may cause signs and symptoms which relate to the location and extent of bony abnormalities. The use of endoscopic nasal surgery for debulking ethmoidal fibrous dysplasia, blocking the left nasolacrimal sac and simultaneous intranasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with silicone intubation is presented. The procedure and advantages of endoscopic approach over the external approach are outlined in this paper.
