Principles and Practice of Lacrimal Surgery

Abstract

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy has become a common procedure for the management of certain lacrimal conditions. Its high success rate and no cosmetic morbidity have made it an attractive alternative to traditional external approaches. To perform this procedure well, the surgeon must have a sound understanding of endoscopic endonasal anatomy and its normal anatomic variants and be well trained in the use of the nasal endoscope. The current chapter describes the common adjunctive procedures like endoscopic septoplasty and middle and inferior turbinoplasty.
