title: Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: A Study at IPGMER, Kolkata.
abstract: Endoscopic sinus surgery has developed a new era in the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis. A prospective study was conducted by taking 67 patients having epiphora. Endo DCR was performed under local anaesthesia. Post operative care was given by means of alkaline nasal douching, lacrimal sac massage and endoscopic examination on 1st, 3rd, 6th week. Success rate was found to be 95.5 % which is comparable to external DCR and with added advantages.
