Abstract

Ultrasonic DCR is a technique where piezoelectric or ultrasonic waves in the range of 20–30 KHz are used for osteotomy to cut mineralized tissues only, thus sparing the soft tissues. This technology has been successfully used in neurosurgery, otology, and craniofacial procedures. The advantage of safety in crucial areas made its adaptation for orbital and lacrimal surgeries natural. This chapter will elucidate the instrumentation, principles, techniques, and results of ultrasonic DCR.
