Abstract

EPIPHORA IS A RELATIVELY COMMON PROBLEM IN OPHTHALMOLOGY AND IS THE MOST COMMON PRESENTING SYMPTOM OF NASOLACRIMAL SAC OBSTRUCTION FOLLOWING ACUTE OR CHRONIC INFLAMMATION, TRAUMA, TUMORS, OR CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS. IT CAN BE ASSOCIATED WITH PURULENT SECRETIONS AND SWELLING OF THE SAC REGION. THE MOST COMMON SIGN OF THIS CONDITION IS THE RELEASE OF PURULENT MATERIAL ON COMPRESSION OF SAC.

ALTHOUGH MEDICAL TREATMENT, INCLUDING ANTIBIOTIC THERAPY, CAN ADDRESS THE SYMPTOMS, THE DEFINITIVE MANAGEMENT OF NASOLACRIMAL SAC OBSTRUCTION INVOLVES SURGERY TO RESTORE THE PATENCY OF THE LACRIMAL SYSTEM. DACRYOCYSTORHINOSTOMY (DCR) IS THE STANDARD PROCEDURE USED, IN WHICH THE LACRIMAL SAC IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE NOSE BY REMOVING THE LAYER OF BONE AND MUCOSA THAT SEPARATE THESE TWO STRUCTURES.

WITH CURRENT TIME MANY NEWER TECHNIQUES ARE BECOMING POPULAR LIKE TCL DCR, ENDONASAL DCR. WE WOULD LIKE TO ELABORATE DETAILS OF EACH TECHNIQUE OF LACRIMAL SURGERIES AND COMPARE PROS AND CONS.
