ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic endonasal primary conjunctivodacryocysto-rhinostomy (CDCR) and revision CDCR after primary CDCR. METHODS: Twenty patients who had undergone endoscopic endonasal CDCR with Jones tube and who were followed for over 6 months at our hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Our analysis included success rate, operation time and causes of failure. RESULTS: The indications for revision CDCR were prolapse of Jones tube and inadequate tube length. The initial success rate in the primary and revision groups was 78.6% (11/14) and 100% (6/6), respectively. Two initial failures in the primary group were later successful after revision. The mean operation time in the groups was 23.9 minutes ( +/- 6.3) and 21.7 minutes ( +/- 6.1), respectively. The main causes of failure included inaccurate tube length and abnormal tube position. CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic endonasal CDCR appears to be a reasonable approach for revision, as well as primary, because of accurate measurement of Jones tube length during surgery and the shortened operation time.
