How Endoscopic Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy (Endonasal DCR) is performed
Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is often performed under local or general anesthesia. Typically, the lacrimal sac area is located endoscopically, the nasal mucosa is incised, and a window is created in the bony wall to establish a new drainage passage between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity. If applicable, a silicone tube can be temporarily placed to maintain patency. Postoperatively, the focus is on monitoring for nasal bleeding, lacrimal duct patency, and signs of infection, as well as performing nasal cavity cleaning and administering eye drops, with the goal of alleviating epiphora and recurrent infections. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
