Long-term outcomes of revision endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy aided by 4-mm coronary balloon catheter dacryoplasty.

摘要: Our purpose was assess the long-term efficacy of 4-mm coronary balloon catheter dacryoplasty in revision endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (RevEnDCR). This retrospective interventional case-series performed for patients who underwent RevEnDCR aided by a (CBC) dacryoplasty. The indications surgery were previously failed DCRs external or approach where ostium showed near total cicatrization with without presence organized granuloma threatening internal common opening (ICO). (4 × 10 mm, SPALNO, Cardiomac, Haryana, India) guidewire used and minimum >12 months follow-up considered analysis. Ten lacrimal systems eight mean age 48.8 years CBC-assisted DCR. Of DCRs, 6 had previous DCR 4 DCRs. Grossly stenosed cicatricial closure noted half (50%, 5/10) while remaining half, addition, granulomas ICO. surgical technique using CBC found to be minimally invasive, easy perform multiple advantages like uniform clearance area front ICO more predictable sac flaps. At 20 months, anatomical functional success achieved 90% (9/10) eyes. We conclude that catheter-assisted is invasive viable alternative select group cicatrisation
