Endoscopic DCR

Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy (Endoscopic DCR) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat nasolacrimal duct obstruction, a condition that causes constant watering of the eyes, recurrent infections, and discomfort. Unlike traditional external DCR, this technique is performed through the nasal cavity using advanced endoscopic instruments, eliminating the need for any external incision or visible scar. During the procedure, a new drainage pathway is created between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity, allowing tears to flow normally again. Endoscopic DCR offers several advantages, including faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and minimal tissue disruption. It also provides excellent visualization for the surgeon, resulting in high success rates and reduced chances of recurrence. This approach is especially beneficial for patients who prefer a scar-free option or those with associated nasal issues such as a deviated septum or sinus disease. With proper evaluation and expert surgical care, Endoscopic DCR provides long-lasting relief and restores comfortable, tear-free vision.
