Researchers from Holy Spirit University of Kaslik Detail New Studies and Findings in the Area of Ostomy (Nasal flap preservation in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy for nasolacrimal duct obstruction).

A recent study conducted by researchers from Holy Spirit University of Kaslik compared the outcomes of two surgical techniques, conventional endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and modified endoscopic DCR, for the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). The study found that the modified technique had a significantly higher success rate (98%) compared to the conventional technique (84.8%) at 1 year. Factors associated with higher odds of success included the modified surgery and having an adjunctive septoplasty surgery. The study also found no significant difference in complication rates or mean operative time between the two techniques. [Extracted from the article]
