Transnasal endoscopic assisted dacryocystorhinostomy.
Transnasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy is a good alternative for external DCR. It is considered a safe and efficient technique with successful results, comparable or even better than the external technique. Advanced knowledge of the endoscopic anatomy and the lacrimal system is necessary to perform the procedure safely, and to obtain good surgical outcomes. The aim of the paper is to analyze the changes of the endoscopic technique and to improve it. The transnasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy surgical technique is described in a "step by step" manner. Also the surgical technologies that can be used for this intervention are presented, focusing on the cold instruments.
