ABSTRACT
To evaluate factors related to success rate of dacryocystorhinostomy, we retrospectively surveyed 131 eyes about age, sex, symptom duration, etiology, obstruction site, sac size, silicone tube insertion and surgeons learning curve. Patients age, sex, obstruction site and sac size were not related to surgical results, but longer duration of epiphora, trauma, silicone intubation and poor surgical skill had relationship with poor surgical results. Surgical skill was the most important factor in multiple logistic regression. We believe that surgical technique for making a mucosal flap with bone removal etc., was very important to surgical success.
