Difficult Scenarios in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Principles and Practice of Lacrimal Surgery

Abstract

Endoscopic DCR is fast becoming the first choice in the management of nasolacrimal duct obstructions owing to its multiple advantages over other approaches, better instrumentation, better training opportunities, and a newer generation which is far more familiar with it than the previous generations. With increasing use, there are numerous circumstances which can be classified under difficult scenarios, and this chapter would elucidate them and provide guidelines in dealing with them.
