“…The common surgical causes of failures include inability to correctly locate the sac, insufficient osteotomy, inadequate sac opening, and significant but uncorrected septal deviations and concha bullosa . Common endoscopic findings in failed cases are cicatricial ostium closures, scarred common canaliculus, obstructed distal canaliculi, organizing granulomas, and bone neogenesis . Reported success rates for revision DCR are typically quoted as being lower than for primary DCR, with success rates ranging from 85% to 94% in external DCR, 83% to 94% in endonasal DCR, and 67% to 83% in endocanalicular laser DCR .…”
