“…The intergroup success rate was found to be nearly the same, with the Ex-DCR group having 94.54% success and the En-DCR having 91.07%. Eris et al [ 20 ] found the success rates for endoscopic and external DCR procedures were 91.1% and 92.3%, respectively. Their data also suggested that patient satisfaction was higher with endoscopic DCR compared to external DCR since external DCR left visible scars in 17% of their patients.…”

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is a procedure that bypasses an obstruction in the nasolacrimal duct system. DCR can be categorized into two primary techniques: external and endoscopic. This review aims to assess the success rate of external DCR procedures, both with and without the use of a stent. This study compared the outcomes of primary DCR with and without silicone intubation in multiple studies. The reviewed studies consistently showed that silicone intubation significantly improves the success rates of DCR, with success rates ranging from 80% to 95%. The involved studies suggest that silicone intubation offers specific advantages in complex cases involving distant and common canaliculus blockages and recurrent DCR surgeries. This review emphasizes that multiple studies have documented higher success rates of external dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) when silicone tubes are utilized as stents. Furthermore, external DCR has been identified as the preferred procedure among medical professionals.
