Disease relevance of Dacryocystorhinostomy

• BACKGROUND: To evaluate the outcome of dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for dacryocystitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [1].
• NIS-expressing columnar epithelial cells were absent and fibrosis was evident in the lacrimal sacs from I(131)-treated patients undergoing dacryocystorhinostomy [2].

High impact information on Dacryocystorhinostomy

• Functional and anatomic results after two types of endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy: surgical and holmium laser [3].
• Endoscopic-guided trephination dacryocystorhinostomy (Hesham DCR): technique and pilot trial [4].
• CONCLUSIONS: Polyurethane stenting without fluoroscopic guidance seems to be a valuable technique for primary management of nasolacrimal duct obstruction before dacryocystorhinostomy [5].
• OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: The introduction of endonasal laser dacryocystorhinostomy (ENL-DCR) in the early 1990s showed great promise of changing dacryocystorhinostomy into an elegant, minimally invasive procedure from the traditional external dacryocystorhinostomy (EXT-DCR) [6].
• Transcanalicular neodymium: YAG laser for revision of dacryocystorhinostomy [7].

Associations of Dacryocystorhinostomy with chemical compounds

• Toxic effects were observed in two healthy patients who received cocaine intranasally before dacryocystorhinostomy [8].
• With minor modifications in surgical technique, both dacryocystorhinostomy and conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy were performed with either the potassium titanyl phosphate or carbon dioxide lasers [9].
• Intraoperative fluorouracil in endonasal laser dacryocystorhinostomy [10].
• METHODS: A case note review was made of all patients treated with endoscopic laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy who were taking coumadin in two centers between 1993 and 2000 [11].
• Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction requiring external dacryocystorhinostomies in a child with foetal valproate syndrome [12].

Gene context of Dacryocystorhinostomy

• Endoscopic intranasal dacryocystorhinostomy was successful in nine of 11 (82%) patients with normal or enlarged lacrimal sacs, and in two of seven (29%) patients with cicatrized lacrimal sacs [13].
• BACKGROUND: To evaluate the clinical outcome of primary endonasal laser assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (ENL-DCR) using the potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser [14].
• Agger nasi cell mucosal autograft for lacrimal sac reconstruction during endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Dacryocystorhinostomy

• OBJECTIVE: To describe our experience with potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy, controlled via endolacrimal and endonasal endoscopy [16].
• We investigated if the results of routine urine drug screening for cocaine metabolites would be positive after dacryocystorhinostomy [17].
• Advances in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery continue to be made in the state of Hawaii. A new technique of dacryocystorhinostomy using the endoscope and the pulsed Holmium: YAG laser as well as a subconjunctival endoscopic assisted approach to orbital surgery for orbital decompression is described [18].
