Background: Dacrocystorhinostomy can be done by external or by endoscopic approaches. This paper is a series of 33 cases of endoscopic DCR.
Methods: Prospective study of 30 patients who underwent endoscopic DCR from October 2023 to October 2024.
Results: Out of the 30 patients, 26 were females and 4 males. Majority were in the 61-70 age group. Bilateral DCR was done in 3 out of the 30 patients. 18 patients underwent R DCR and 15 patients underwent L DCR. Primary stenting was done in 1 patient. Stenting was done after 2 weeks in view of regurgitation on lacrimal syringing in 3 patients.
Conclusions: Routine primary stenting is not required in endoscopic DCR. Post operative failure could be due to granulation tissue or inadequate bone removal.
