Abstract

Transcanalicular dacryoendoscopy combined with simultaneous minimally invasive therapy is a great step forward in diagnostic and operative choices. It has considerably reduced the rate of DCRs that would otherwise have been necessary to perform. Transcanalicular endoscopy enables new insights into the pathology of the diseases of the lacrimal system. Today, one can directly visualize lesions and decide immediately on appropriate interventions, whereas in the past, only indirect imaging was available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
