Abstract
Introduction: Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the mostpopular operation for treating nasolacrimal duct obstruction orchronic dacryostenosis. Study aimed to compare the successrate of external dacryocystorhino stomy with and withoutsilicone intubation.Material and Methods: A total 223 were operated fornasolacrimal duct obstruction, at district hospital level. 70patients were operated with silicon tube intubation and 153 patients operated without silicon tube. The patency of lacrimaldrainage system was evaluated with lacrimal syringing. Age, gender, laterality, and lacrimal irrigation in the thirdmonth visit were recorded. Surgical success was acceptedas the patency of the formed ostium with lacrimal syringing/irrigation. Data was analysed using the average, standarddeviation, variation coefficient, and the statistical significancewas determined using test. Results: Success rate was higher 94.24% in patients withsilicone tube intubation, and 86.92% in without silicon tubeintubation, with p-value (p>0.05).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that success rate was higherin dacryocystorhinostomy with silicone intubation, althoughresults were not statistically significant.
