Influence of Septal Deviation on the Prognosis of Transcanalicular Diode Laser-Assisted Dacryocystorhinostomy

Abstract: Purpose. The objective of the present study is to determine whether the success rate in transcanalicular diode laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (TCL DCR) is influenced by the variant septal deviation (SD). Methods. Patients were divided into two groups: one including operated lacrimal pathways (LP) with no anatomical nasosinusal variants and the other group of LP with SD. This study began on January 1, 2008, and ended on December 31, 2010, at Morales Meseguer Hospital. Variables were compared by means of A… Show more

“…They found no significant statistical differences between the success rate in the two groups. Furthermore, we could avoid previous or concomitant septoplasty in some cases like mild and moderate SD because the success rate was similar to non septal deviation group [11].…”

“…Patients with endonasal variations should be well evaluated and selected to increase surgical success with laser DCR. In a study in which Raposo et al [ 13 ] evaluated the effect of septum deviation on laser DCR prognosis, the researchers found that mild and moderate septal deviation did not affect surgical success. In another study in which the prognostic effect of age in patient selection was evaluated, it was found that 6.76 times more successful surgical outcomes were obtained with laser DCR in patients aged 60 years and above compared to patients aged 20–30 years [ 14 ].…”

“…while the chronic form is associated with a mass under the medial canthal tendon and chronic conjunctivitis with epiphora. polymicrobial dacryocytitis were common and concurrently isolated from bacterial, fungal, and viral origin [3,4]. In general gram-positive bacteria were most common which were followed by gram-negative bacteria of both anaerobic and aerobic origin.…”
