Abstract

Purpose: to retrospectively compare the success rates of external and endoscopic
dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery performed for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
Methods: 79 patients with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction that had either external
DCR (41, group 1) or endoscopic DCR (38, group 2) and completed 3 year duration after
surgery were included in this study. Results: 38 patients in group 1 (92.7%) and 30 patients in
group 2 (78.9%) showed success of surgery after 3 years of surgery, defining success as relief
of symptoms plus endoscopic visualization of the patent stoma (p value 0.079). Conclusion:
Although the endoscopic approach of pediatric DCR has the advantages of the lack of skin
incision, the preservation of the pump mechanism and the ability to address other nasal
pathologies at the time of surgery, the external approach looks more successful on the long run.
