Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with and without silicone intubation: 4 years retrospective study

Abstract: The objective of this study is to assess different outcomes between endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) with and without silicone intubation. We retrospectively analyzed 84 patients (89 procedures), suffering from chronic epiphora for primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction, treated with En-DCR and divided into two groups depending on silicone stent intubation. The surgical outcomes were evaluated at 7 post-operative controls using Munk's score criteria. Functional success was defined as absence o… Show more

“…The ostial size reduction has been reported by Longari et al . in higher percentage in the stent group, mainly due to peristomal granuloma, scar tissue formation, and turbinoseptal synaechia 34 . Owing to data restrictions regarding postoperative complications, which many included trials did not provide, this study only analysed complications quantitatively in term of tissue granulation hyperplasia, infection and adhesion.…”

“…Cerrahi olarak eksternal ve endoskopik yaklaşımlar ve bu yaklaşımların gözyaşı kanalları entübasyonu ve lazerle kombinasyonları tarif edilmiştir [3][4][5] . Son yıllar-da başarı oranlarının artması, eksternal insizyon gerektirmemesi, iyileşme süresinin kısa olması ve lakrimal pompa mekanizmasını bozmaması gibi çeşitli avantajları nedeni ile uygun hastalarda endoskopik dakriyosistorinostomi (EDSR) ameliyatı fazlaca tercih edilmeye başlanmıştır.…”

“…5 Blind removal of foreign bodies has been reported, 6 however the development of combined-multiportal endoscopic approaches enabled surgeons to reach different regions through minimally invasive routes with lower incidence of complications, lower morbidity, and mortality rates compared with traditional external approaches. 4,[7][8][9] Reconstruction of anterior skull base defects remains the most challenging issue in this field with postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak, 9 however, the introduction of different vascularized nasoseptal flaps dramatically decreased the rates of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leak and improved the quality of life of patients, reducing postoperative nasal crusting and hospitalization time rates ranging from 3.3% to 4.3%.
