ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To introduce a novelty-modified dacryocystorhinostomy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>With the innovated scalpels, 11 patients (13 eyes) suffering from chronic dacryocystitis were performed with the newly modified surgical procedures derived from traditional dacryocystorhinostomy. The efficacy, efficiency, and complications were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Thirteen operations for 11 patients were performed successfully and efficiently. The wound was during operation neat and with a slight hemorrhage which could be stanched easily. No serious complications were observed intra-operatively. The average time of follow-up was 7.8 months (6-12 months). All the dacryocysto-rhinal canals remained unblocked.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The modified dacryocystorhinostomy with the help of innovated mucous scalpel has high success rate, high efficiency and low complications. It deserves wide application as the first choice for chronic dacryocystitis.</p>
