Dacryocystorhinostomy in West Bengal

Types of Dacryocystorhinostomy

External DCR creates a small skin incision near the nose to construct a new drainage passage between the tear sac and nasal cavity, offering excellent long-term success and a well-established track record. Endonasal (endoscopic) DCR achieves the same bypass entirely through the nostril with no visible scar and comparable success rates in experienced hands, and a silicone stent may be placed temporarily in either technique to keep the new channel open while it heals.
