Dacriocistorrinostomía endoscópica endonasal frente a transcanalicular con láser diodo. Técnicas quirúrgicas y resultados

The surgical outcomes are similar with both laser techniques. The main advantages of using diode laser are that it does not require general anaesthesia, the lower intra- and peri-operative morbidity, the lack of nasal packing and the greater ease of performing additional interventions if it fails. The only real disadvantage of laser procedures is the high cost.
