Abstract
Over the past ten years the interest in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) has increased with improved instruments and endoscopic surgery skills. Although endoscopic DCR was first described in 1989, the technique has evolved over the past 15 years as the understanding of the anatomy and ability to achieve reliable and consistent results has improved. Powered endoscopic DCR is a reliable and effective technique for managing primary nasolacrimal duct obstruction in adults and children and for revision DCR.Entities:
