Abstract
With the recent proliferation of endoscopic surgical techniques, there has been renewed interest in performing dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) via an intranasal endoscopic approach. Advantages of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) include: excellent visualization, the ability to thoroughly evaluate the location and size of the rhinostomy site, and the avoidance of a facial scar. EDCR is a safe and effective alternative to traditional external DCR surgery, and offers comparable success rates.
