Abstract
MARQUES-FERNANDEZ, Victoria; DE LAS HERAS-FLOREZ, Paula and GALINDO-FERREIRO, Alicia. External dacryocystorhinostomy, conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy and Inferior nasal meatus lacrimal surgery. Rev. ORL [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.2, pp.79-91. Epub Aug 09, 2021. ISSN 2444-7986. https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/orl.24154.
Introduction and objective:
To carry out an update review on external dacryocystorhinostomy(ext-DCR), conjunctivo dacryocystorhinostomy (C-DCR) and inferior nasal meatus lacrimal surgery (lacrimal probing) to treat lacrimal system obstructions.
Method:
Review of published literature regarding surgical treatment mentioned.
Discussion:
Depending on the location, nasolacrimal obstructions may be proximal or distal. External dacryocystorhinostomy is the gold standard technique, with success rates over 95%, to treat distal obstructions, and conjunctivo -dacryocystorhinostomy to proximal ones. In case of congenital duct obstructions probing will be the first surgical treatment prescribed.
Keywords : External dacryocystorhinostomy; nasolacrimal probing; conjunctivo-dacryocystorhinostomy.
