Abstract
- The various surgical options for lacrimal tract reconstruction include canaliculodacryocystorhinostomy; fundal transposition; Conjunctivodacrocystorhinostomy with Jones tube; and in extreme cases conjunctivo-rhinostomy (CR) for total lacrimal bypass. The first three require partial lacrimal tract presence/ integrity while CR is indicated when the canaliculi and/or sac are nonfunctional. This report describes a novel technique of minimally invasive CR through a predominantly endoscopic endonasal approach and further discusses its advantages over other established techniques.
