Impact of Preoperative Lacrimal Sac Morphology on Postoperative Rhinostomy Shape and Prognosis in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy
Lacrimal sac characteristics play a prominent role in determining the postoperative rhinostomy shape that is particularly relevant to functional outcomes. A preoperative cylindrical lacrimal sac and postoperative ice-scoop-shaped rhinostomy are predictive of functional success after endoscopic DCR. These observations will be crucial in creating a surgical plan and monitoring the postoperative rhinostomy configuration.
