Karl EngelsbergMikael SadlonPublished in: Ophthalmology and therapy (2022)
The majority of patients with first-onset dacryocystitis had no further episodes of dacryocystitis. Some patients experienced recurrent and complicated infections requiring surgery and were thus a significant burden on the healthcare services. Various surgical options were used to clear the nasolacrimal obstruction causing dacryocystitis. Dacryocystorhinostomy was the most common procedure and showed excellent success rate.
