15. SALIENT FEATURE
Sgt Amirul Islam,39 years old, admitted in CMH Dhaka
with the complaints of recurrent purulent discharge from
his right eye for three and half years. He also complains
of nasal obstruction on right side for same duration. On
examination of right eye, nasolacrimal duct was found
obstructed on sac patency test and in nasoendoscopic
examination. Nasal septum was deviated to right side
compromising the airway.
21. POST OPERATIVE CARE
Merocel nasal pack was removed on following morning and patient
was advised to irrigate nose with saline twice a day.
Patient visited one week later
The silastic DCR tube was removed six weeks after surgery
Patient was advised to report 3 monthly for 1 year .
23. Endoscopic DCR,is a minimal invasive procedure and
has comparable good result with conventional external
DCR.This operation is now considered safe alternative
when it comes with associated nasal pathology.
Endoscopic DCR may be indicated on a primary basis
or as revision surgery following external DCR. Under
endoscopic guidance nasal anatomy is understood
better, managed accordingly, sac is approached under
direct vision so operation outcome is better &
complication rate is less in endoscopic DCR.
