Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy as Treatment for Lower Lacrimal Pathway Obstructions in Adults: Review Article

Allergy & Rhinology, 2015
Obstruction of the lacrimal pathway is manifested by epiphora, infection, and blurred vision as well as ocular and facial pain. Conservative treatments only achieve temporary relief of symptoms, thus surgery is the treatment of choice ...

Retrospective study in 1020 cases on the rate of surgical site infections after lacrimal surgery without prophylactic systemic antibiotics

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 ...

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 ...

Ultra-thin rigid endoscope: Two-photon imaging through a graded-index multi-mode fiber [PDF]

, 2015
Rigid endoscopes like graded-index (GRIN) lenses are known tools in biological imaging, but it is conceptually difficult to miniaturize them. In this letter, we demonstrate an ultra-thin rigid endoscope with a diameter of only 125 microns. In addition, we identify a domain where two-photon endoscopic imaging with fs-pulse excitation is possible.

Ocular microbiota types and longitudinal microbiota alterations in patients with chronic dacryocystitis with and without antibiotic pretreatment

iMetaOmics, Volume 1, Issue 1, September 2024.
Two types of ocular microbiota and three types of nasal microbiota were demonstrated among ocular diseases patients. Although clinical recovery is comparable, the antibiotic pretreatment significantly changed the ocular microbiota 4 weeks after dacryocystorhinostomy, which suggested the antibiotic is not needed for recovery from dacryocystorhinostomy ...

Lacrimal bypass surgery in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy

Oftalʹmologiâ, 2015
Background: Optimal placement of dacryostoma and minimally invasive non-traumatic bypass surgery that creates an anastomosis between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity are important to prevent the recurrence of nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Effectiveness of Nasolacrimal SCC Treatments and Promising Role of Chemo‐Induction: A Case Report and Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, Volume 134, Issue 9, Page 3892-3902, September 2024.
This systematic review underscored the importance of early detection and optimization of treatment as key modifiable factors that would enhance outcomes in Nasolacrimal SCC. It also highlights the potential role to enhance outcomes and minimize the necessity for eye exenteration by utilizing adjuvant therapy.

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: Advantage over External Approach

Bengal Journal of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery, 2019
Introduction Although external DCR was considered to be the Gold Standard treatment for NLD obstruction, endoscopic DCR appears to give comparable results,  with the advantage of the absence of external facial scar and no disruption of the medial ...

“Better Handshake Together”: 3 years in interdisciplinary approach of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy

The Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology
Background Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) alleviates epiphora by fistulizing the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity, effectively bypassing nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO).
