Abstract:Objective To analyze the clinical effect of dacryocystitis under nasal endoscope and combined lacrimal passage catheterization in patients with chronic dacryocystitis.Methods A retrospective analysis was made of 52 patients (56 eyes) with chronic dacryocystitis from Jan 2015 to Nov 2019, divided into simple orifice group (30 eyes) and combined lacrimal passage catheterization group (26 eyes). U silicone tube was inserted into lacrimal duct through lacrimal passage in lacrimal canaliculostomy group. The therapeutic effect and patient satisfaction [degree of pain and eye discomfort in wound pain, visual analogue scale (VAS) was used] were compared between the two groups.Results All the patients were followed up for 6~12 months. The total effective rate was 90.0% in the ovariectomy group and combined with lacrimal passage. The total effective rate was 92.3% in the catheterization group, and there was no significant difference in postoperative patient satisfaction. There was significant difference in VAS score between the two groups (P < 0.01).Conclusion The patients have obvious wound pain and eye discomfort, and increase the cost of treatment afte dacryocystorhinostomy combined with lacrimal passage catheterization is used to treat chronic dacryocystitis under nasal endoscope. Dacryocystorhinostomy under nasal endoscope has achieved satisfactory clinical effect, and the patients' satisfaction is higher, simpler, time-saving and economical.
