Outcome comparison between transcanalicular and external dacryocystorhinostomy [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015 AIM: To compare the outcomes achieved with external dacryocystorhinostomy (EX-DCR) and transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy (TC-DCR) using a multidiode laser in patients with bilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO).

Acute dacryocystitis: two cases reports [PDF]
, 2011 The adult lacrimal obstruction can be congenital or acquired. In the case of the acquired form, the etiology classifies in not-specific (it involves the coating epithelium and/or the vascular plexus submucosae of the lacrimal duct) and specific ...

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 102, Issue 8, Page 963-967, December 2024.Abstract Background/Aims Data regarding the effectiveness of prophylactic systemic antibiotics (PSA) in lacrimal surgery is scarce. Therefore, we determined the postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) rate in lacrimal surgery without PSA. Methods We retrospectively analysed files of patients who underwent external (extDCR) or endoscopic endonasal ...

Lacrimal Outflow Mechanisms and the Role of Scintigraphy: Current Trends
World Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 2014 Lacrimal outflow can be compromised by anatomical obstructions or stenoses (nonfunctional epiphora) or by defective lacrimal "pump" function (functional epiphora). Although classic imaging modalities, such as X-ray dacryocystography, computed tomography,

Variability of the Microbiota in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Scoping Review
OTO Open, Volume 8, Issue 4, October-December 2024.Abstract Objective Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by a persistent inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa that could be potentially linked to a dysregulation between the microbiota and the immune system. We aim to explore general, methodological, and microbiological aspects of microbiota research in CRS compared to disease ...

The Variprism: A Large-Range Variable Prism for Measurement of the Angle of Squint [PDF]
, 1988 Prism bars and variable Herschel prisms are most commonly used today to measure the angle of squint. Both have drawbacks, however. Prism bars are too large to carry around all day and are usually limited to 40 prism diopters (PD), while variable Herschel

Characterizing the Occluded Lacrimal Punctum Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography. [PDF]
, 2016 PURPOSE: Epiphora is sometimes associated with an absent or occluded lacrimal drainage punctum (or puncta). This study uses noninvasive "enhanced depth" anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) to give improved characterization and ...

Clinical Otolaryngology, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 538-551, September 2024.Abstract Objective Three‐dimensional (3D) endoscopy has been developed to provide depth perception to allow for improved visualisation during otolaryngology surgery. We conducted a systematic review to determine the surgical safety and efficacy of 3D endoscopy in comparison to two‐dimensional (2D) endoscopy in performing otolaryngology procedures, and ...
