“…Out of the total, 52 (96.3%) patients were free of watering and had patency on syringing whereas 2 (3.70%) patients reported still watering and regurgitation on syringing from the opposite punctum. The overall surgical success rate in our study (96.3%) was similar to that reported in other studies: 95% by Goel et al (2016), 94.54% by Dasgupta et al (2016) and 94.1%. by Duwal et al (2015).…”

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction over time in patients undergoing external dacryocystorhinostomy for primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction when done by a general ophthalmologist. Materials and methods: This prospective interventional case series was done in a secondary level eye hospital in the Midwestern region of Nepal from 1st January 2018 to 30th December 2018. Fifty-four consecutive adult patients diagnosed with primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction who underwent external dacryocystorhinostomy performed by a general ophthalmologist were included. The surgical success rate was determined at six months on the basis of the resolution of symptoms with patency on syringing. Postoperative patient satisfaction was evaluated 6 months after surgery with a standardized Glasgow Benefit Inventory and post-intervention questionnaire. Results: A total of 54 eyes were operated on within the study period and a larger number of surgeries were done in the age group 26-30 years. Female constituted 79.6 % and male 20.4% with a ratio of 3.9:1. Overall surgical success rate 6 months after surgery was 96.30%. The mean total Glasgow benefit inventory (GBI) score was 48.83 ± 23.87 (95% CI, 42.96- 56.95), mean general subscale score was 52.70± 23.28 (95% CI, 46.49-60.38), social support subscale was 49.69 ± 44.68 (95% CI, 41.15-60.35) and physical health subscale score was 37.07 ± 41.19 (95% CI, 27.48-49.26). Conclusion: The external dacryocystorhinostomy surgeries performed by general ophthalmologists achieved an excellent surgical success rate and good patient satisfaction proven by a validated questionnaire.

“…In the prospective randomized comparative study of Nailwal et al [ 18 ], the overall success rate of external dacryocystorhinostomy after three months of surgery was 93.33%, whereas that of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy was 90%, but this difference was not statistically significant (p=1.0). Dasgupta et al [ 19 ] reported the same findings, with an overall success rate of 92.80% for DCR surgery. The intergroup success rate was found to be nearly the same, with the Ex-DCR group having 94.54% success and the En-DCR having 91.07%.…”

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a procedure that bypasses an obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct system. DCR can be categorized into two primary techniques: external and endoscopic. This review aims to assess the success rate of external DCR procedures, both with and without the use of a stent. This study compared the outcomes of primary DCR with and without silicone intubation in multiple studies. The reviewed studies consistently showed that silicone intubation significantly improves the success rates of DCR, with success rates ranging from 80% to 95%. The involved studies suggest that silicone intubation offers specific advantages in complex cases involving distant and common canaliculus blockages and recurrent DCR surgeries. This review emphasizes that multiple studies have documented higher success rates of external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) when silicone tubes are utilized as stents. Furthermore, external DCR has been identified as the preferred procedure among medical professionals.
