Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy for Monocanalicular Obstruction
Functional Benefits
Dr. Mancini helped describe the use of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) for patients with isolated monocanalicular obstruction, a specific type of tear duct blockage.
This minimally invasive approach creates a new drainage pathway using endoscopic techniques through the nasal cavity.
The technique was published in:
Mueller AJ, Scofield-Kaplan SM, Tenzel PA, Winward B, Clair BC, Mancini R. (2021).
Who Should Consider This Procedure?
Patients suffering from chronic tearing (epiphora), tear duct blockage, or recurrent infections of the tear drainage system may benefit from endoscopic tear duct surgery.
