Evaluating a Decade of Surgical Solutions: Pediatric Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction Treatment Outcomes in Malaysia
The success rates for probing and exDCR were 60.5% and 86.4%, respectively. Statistically significant factors associated with improved outcomes included younger age and the absence of dacryocystitis. Other factors, such as simple cNLDO, bilaterality of disease, and endoscopic guidance, may also contribute to better outcomes, though they were not statistically significant.
