Long-term outcomes of primary transcanalicular laser dacryocystorhinostomy.

摘要: To assess the long-term outcomes of transcanalicular laser dacryocystorhinostomy in cases primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO). Retrospective interventional case series was performed on all patients diagnosed with PANDO and who underwent a from Jan 2014 to June 2016. The procedure using 980 nm diode laser. All additionally intraoperative adjunctive procedures: mitomycin C application silicone intubation. Patients were followed for up 3 years after surgery. Anatomical success defined as patent ostium irrigation, functional resolution epiphora. parameters studied include patient demographics, clinical presentation, type anesthesia, duration surgery, energy delivered, complications, anatomical success. variables influencing assessed. Statistical analysis package Statistica (version 10.0, Statsoft, Poland). A total number 205 Of these, 73.17% (150/205) females. mean age 62.92 years. used 1060.09 J, operating time 22.33 min. Approximately, 95% 68% completed 1 year follow-up, respectively. rates dropped significantly beyond months 6 postoperative period maintained lower 1-year follow-up at end 3-year 56.12% 33.81%, not affected by gender (P = 0.132), 0.956), 0.626), or surgery 0.906). However, pain scale influenced < 0.001) 0.001). are suboptimal encouraging long term.
