ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To report demographic features and surgical outcomes of 320 children undergoing external dacryocystorhinostomy for dacryostenosis.

Methods:

We performed a retrospective evaluation of the records of patients aged <16 years who underwent external dacryocystorhinostomy. Patient demographic features and success rates of the operations were analyzed from the data records. Children with <12-month follow-up were not enrolled in the study.

Results:

We identified 326 operative records of 320 children (162 [50.6%] girls and 158 [49.4%] boys) who underwent external dacryocystorhinostomy with a mean follow-up of 26.03 ± 11.11 months. Overall, we evaluated 116 (35.6%) cases of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Our series demonstrated a 99.4% success rate for external dacryocystorhinostomy.

Conclusions:

External dacryocystorhinostomy in children has a high success rate if performed by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon.
