The lacrimal sac into the nose will be connected (dakriosistorinostomi) of the lacrimal sac to the nose which enables them to be transferred, collected tears (lacrimal sac) and or tear duct (lacrimal duct) are blocked for various reasons, in cases where it is applied.
Tears flow out of eyes (epifora) and recurrent inflammation of the lacrimal sac in patients with medical treatment and dilatation (expansion) despite the opening of the channel of the nose and tears failure to transfer a sufficient amount of the tear sac to the nose in the case of the absence of surgically connected.
Diseases of the lacrimal sac examination, differential diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases eye diseases are performed by specialists and surgical specialists are given by the decision again.
Classic surgical technique requires an incision on the outside of the lacrimal sac and the nose is connected to the inner wall by.
But at that time were defined more than 100 years ago, which has not gained popularity due to the lack of vision through the nose into the practice of lacrimal sac surgery endoscopic sinus surgery about 20 years ago was put back on the agenda after it enters, and gradually have been used with increasing frequency.
The Operation Process
An experienced eye diseases specialist in endoscopic surgery and ear, nose, and throat specialist, performed with an endoscopic surgery (endoscopic dakriosistorinostomi) located between the nasal cavity and lacrimal sac, lacrimal bone, tear sac and the nose are produced by passing by way of the bone is found after opening the pouch close to the inner wall of the nose, situated on the edge of the upper and lower eyelids, tear duct from the mouth (Punk was) taken in is passed through the nose silicone tubes are detected. The duration of the disease is determined by the condition of the tubes can be between 2-12 months with an encumbrance.
No significant difference was found between surgery and endoscopic surgery success rate in both classic and operations, the rate is approximately 90 to 95 percent. Obstruction of the lacrimal Sac are hard scar tissue formation and recurrence of the most common complications. In endoscopic surgery, in addition to rare complications of endoscopic surgery, including nose bleeds can be traced.
With technology advancing in recent years, endoscopic surgery, lasers and the phase of the lacrimal bone, passing through the nose, which makes it extremely easy mikrodebrider they can be improved, especially surgery to be performed, which enables the exact anatomical structures of observed and into the use of surgical navigation systems through the nose while reducing the rate of complications of endoscopic surgery has significantly shortened the duration of the surgery.
Dakriosistorinostomi the most important advantages of endoscopic surgery;
- Avoid scar percent
- It is not affected much of the functions of the bladder tears
- The duration of the surgery is short
- The time to recovery and return to normal life is short.
