Neha Jain, Sudhir
Abstract :
Our study was conducted to evaluate the outcome of transcanalicular diode laser dacryocystorhinostomy in chronic dacryocystitis patients.The study group comprised of 24 patients. The cases were operated by one team to make the uniform analysis. Patients with epiphora, mucocele, lacrimal sac fistula and recurrent dacryocystitis were included in the study. However, patients below 10 years or having canalicular block, granulomatous diseases, malignancy were excluded. All the patients had undergone endoscopic transcanalicular diode laser dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery under general anesthesia. The free flow of saline through newly created stoma during sac syringing was considered as successful criteria. The stent were used in most of the cases. The average follow up period was 6 months. The success rate seen was 83.34% concluding that the transcanalicular DCR with diode laser is a safe procedure with comparable success rate without any orbital complications.
