“…In fact, even if its concomitant surgical treatment is feasible through an endoscopic approach, in the case of a non-skilled endoscopist ENT-surgeon, the risk of peri-operative complications and increase in surgical time is considerable, so that EXT-DCR should be preferred in this particular situation. 32 …”

Endoscopic (END-DCR) and external dacryocystorhinostomies (EXT-DCR) are nowadays considered the gold standard techniques for non-oncologic distal acquired lacrimal disorders (DALO). However, no unanimous consensus has been achieved on which of these surgeries is the most suitable to the individual patient. Herein, we review the available literature of the last 30 years with the aim of defining a simple and reproduceable treatment algorithm to treat DALO. A search of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus and Cochrane databases was last performed in December 2021 to examine evidence regarding the role of END-DCR and EXT-DCR in primary and revision surgeries. If considered primary surgeries, END-DCR should be preferred in case of intranasal comorbidities, given the possibility to directly visualize and treat potential intranasal pathologies. Conversely, EXT-DCR should be chosen in case of need/preference for local anesthesia, given the major historical experience and wider surgical field that helps to resolve intra-operatory complications (e.g., bleeding) in an uncollaborative patient. In the absence of the abovementioned conditions, the decision of one or other approach should be discussed with the patient. In recurrent cases, END-DCR should be considered the treatment of choice given the major likelihood to visualize the causes of primary failure and directly resolve it. In conclusion, END-DCR should be considered the treatment of choice in revision cases or in primary ones associated with intranasal pathologies, whereas EXT-DCR should be chosen if local anesthesia is needed. In the absence of these scenarios, it is still open to debate which of these two approaches should be used.

Objectives: This prospective cohort study aimed to describe the technique of mini endoscopic septoplasty for patients with a high localized nasal septum deviation in front of the middle turbinate and chronic sinusitis or nasal sinus fungus ball. Our primary objective was to investigate the indications and outcomes of this procedure, and the secondary objective was to compare it with regular endoscopic septoplasty. Methods: Patients with chronic sinusitis or nasal sinus fungus ball and high localized nasal septum deviation underwent mini endoscopic septoplasty, while those with a broad deviation of the nasal septum underwent regular endoscopic septoplasty. The study evaluated the procedure duration, blood loss, and complications associated with both methods. All patients were followed up for 3 months. Results: Thirty patients underwent mini endoscopic septoplasty; another 30 underwent regular endoscopic septoplasty. Mini endoscopic septoplasty demonstrated a significantly shorter procedure duration and lower blood loss than regular endoscopic septoplasty. Neither group experienced operative complications, such as nasal septum perforation or hematoma. Conclusion: Mini endoscopic septoplasty is a safe, time-efficient, and effective technique indicated for highly localized nasal septum deviations in patients with chronic sinusitis or nasal sinus fungus ball. This procedure offers advantages in terms of the surgical approach and postoperative debridement. Future research could explore the broader clinical implications of these findings.
