lacrimal duct surgery
Dacryocistorinostomy (DCR) is a surgical operation performed in the case of obstruction of the lacrimal duct (nasolacrimal duct). The aim of the procedure is to establish a new connection between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity, restoring normal tear flow and reducing the risk of re-infection.
Dacriocistorinostomy is recommended if the patient has:
observe the fasting regime for 6–8 hours before surgery;
inform your doctor about allergies, regular medications (especially blood thinners) and chronic diseases.
Stop using blood thinners for 5 days before surgery, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
if you have an active infection before surgery, tell your doctor immediately as it may need to be treated first.
creates a new channel between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity using the endoscopic (through the nose) approach;
the endoscopic method is minimally invasive – external scars usually do not form;
if necessary, insert a silicone stent to maintain the permeability of the new channel during healing (it is removed after 3–6 months).
The operation usually takes 30–60 minutes.
receive instructions on nasal and eye hygiene during the recovery period;
is informed that minor bleeding from the nose and corner of the eye is normal in the first days;
receive eye drops or antibiotic therapy as directed by your doctor
receive information about the postoperative follow-up visit and the timing of removal of the silicone stent if it was inserted.
