An epidemiological study on patients undergoing dacryocystorhinostomy.

Abstract

Dacryocystorhinostomy is performed in patients with naso-lacrimal duct obstruction to bypass the site of obstruction so as to relieve the patient of the irritating and socially embarrassing symptoms of epiphora. We discuss the various epidemiological aspects especially the vast difference by which the females out-number the males in patients undergoing DCR and the likely explanations for this difference in our study on 74 patients which underwent DCR in our institute.
