Piezosurgery in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2009
Piezosurgery is a recently developed system for cutting bone with microvibrations. The equipment consists of two hand pieces, two inserts, and two peristaltic pumps connected to the control unit. The device is endowed with an irrigation system of high-flow saline solution that breaks up into very small particles, with a “bloodless” effect on the ...

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy in children

Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2001
Persistent nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) often requires treatment by probing, intubation, or balloon dacryoplasty. Refractory cases have been managed by external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), which leaves a scar; however, this procedure is generally avoided in young children.

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy and Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2006
Intranasal approaches to the correction of lacrimal outflow obstruction initially were described more than 100 years ago, but they have gained renewed popularity with the recent development of the field of endoscopic sinus surgery. Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) surgery may be considered in many patients who have lacrimal outflow obstruction ...

Endoscopic inferior dacryocystorhinostomy

Clinical Otolaryngology and Allied Sciences, 1998
Conventional dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) usually involves extensive removal of bone at the lacrimal fossa and hence risks disruption of the lacrimal pump mechanism. A physiological operation for nasal lacrimal blockage is described whereby only the inferior portion of the lacrimal sac and the adjacent duct are marsupialized into the nose. The operation

Endoscopic laser dacryocystorhinostomy

The Laryngoscope, 1994
AbstractEndoscopic laser dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) enables an obstructed lacrimal sac to be opened through an intranasal approach, avoiding the need for a skin incision. The holmiumtyttrium aluminum garnet (holmium:YAG) laser is well‐suited for this procedure because of its properties of fiberoptic delivery, effective bone cutting, and precise soft ...

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy

Operative Techniques in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2008
A review of 45 patients who underwent endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) from 1998 to 2005 was done. Only patients who had complete notes and had Jones tube removed at least three months before the study were included. Our experience with EDCR concludes it to be an easy, efficient treatment for nasolacrimal duct obstruction with minimal ...

Pediatric Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy

Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2012
This is a case series with chart review from 1997 to 2010 to determine results of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy in children. Thirty‐seven children underwent removal of the medial wall (RMW) of the lacrimal sac (LS) and 2 had lacrimal stents inserted because they had external fistulae and small cicatrized LS. Parameters of success were (1) resolution

Endoscopic Terminal Dacryocystorhinostomy

The Laryngoscope, 2000
AbstractObjective Traditional endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) involves creation of a lacrimal sac side hole that may close down in the presence of a partially patent lower lacrimal drainage system. Endoscopic terminal DCR is a modified DCR procedure designed to prevent this problem.Methods From September 1996 to June 1999, 16 patients (17 sides)

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: Modified Technique

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2004
BACKGROUNDDacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a surgical technique that has been increasingly used by otolaryngologists in recent years due to the improved endonasal approach with endoscopes. Although it was first described in 1893 by Caldwell, it has been performed by ophthalmologists.OBJECTIVESEven though permeability results are similar in long‐term ...
