  • Objective:

    This paper presents modifications to powered endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy without stenting for the management of acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

    Study design:

    A retrospective, non-randomised review.

    Method:

    A total of 105 patients with epiphora secondary to acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction were operated on by our modified powered endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy approach.

    Results:

    Of 105 patients, 100 (95.2 per cent) have remained asymptomatic. One patient with a narrow ostium had improved symptoms, while four patients continued to experience persistent symptoms (treatment failures).

    Conclusion:

    The modified powered endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy approach led to excellent results, without bone exposure and granulations, and with early mucosalisation.
