Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy Prospective Research

February 21, 2020 updated by: Juha Seppa, Kuopio University Hospital

Recovery After Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (EN-DCR) is an effective procedure when treating saccal and postsaccal obstructions of the nasolacrimal pathway. The benefit of silicone tubing after DCR is still controversial. We conducted a prospective, randomized study in order to evaluate 1) the necessity of bicanalicular silicone tubes after primary EN-DCR, 2) efficacy of the perioperative Mitomycin C for the prevention of adheesion and re-stenosis of rhinostomy site in revision EN-DCR, 3) the subjective symptoms and QoL changes before and after DCR-operation.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: with tubes or mitomycin
After DCR bicanalicular tubes were inserted After re-DCR mitomycin in cottonpads were placed into rhinostoma for 5 minutes
Procedure: DCR with no tubes or mitomycin

The patients were randomized into the two study groups, either with or without the insertion of a bicanalicular silicone tube after primary DCR.

In revision group patients were randomized into the two groups,ether with or without application of mitomycin "C" after DCR

Other Names:
  • DCR with tubes or mitomycin
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: without tubes or mitomycin
After DCR no tubes were inserted After re-DCR no mitomycin was used
Procedure: DCR with no tubes or mitomycin

The patients were randomized into the two study groups, either with or without the insertion of a bicanalicular silicone tube after primary DCR.

In revision group patients were randomized into the two groups,ether with or without application of mitomycin "C" after DCR

Other Names:
  • DCR with tubes or mitomycin
