Patient satisfaction in our initial experience with endonasal endoscopic non-laser dacryocystorhinostomy

Abstract

This study suggests that patient satisfaction with endoscopic endonasal non-laser DCR for primary or revision DCR surgery is comparable to that with the external-DCR technique since there was no significant difference in patient satisfaction between the two groups of patients. Patient perception of their symptomatic improvement was lower (though not statistically significant) in relation to the final clinical assessment of the outcome of both primary and revision EN-DCR.
