This study designed to determine the surgical outcome of transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy for the treatment of blocked lacrimal pathway.
This is a prospective study of 36 patients admitted in Basrah General Hospital from March 2008 to May 2010.
The age of the patients was in range from 6 to 60yrs.
Forty five (31.25 %) were males and 99 (68.75 %) were females.
All of these cases were unilateral.
Thirty three (93.05 %) of the total patients were operated general local anesthesia and the rest 3 (6.94 %) were under local anesthesia.
The overall success rate was 62.5 % in non-intubated patients and 93.75 % with intubation.
It is concluded that Diode Laser Transcanalicular dacryocystorhinostomy is still a new surgical procedure for the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction and need further refinement of the surgical procedure and studies for evaluation of effectiveness and success.
