Summary: Purpose: The aim of our study was to determine the results and complications of endoscopic dacrocystorhinostomy (DCR) performed in patients with postsaccal stenosis of lacrimal pathways. Material and methods: The study included 16 patients (13 women and 3 men) with unilateral epiphora, who were admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology Medical University in Bialystok for the nasolacrimal duct obstruction surgery. The level of obstruction in the lacrimal drainage system was confirmed by an irrigation of the lacrimal pathways. In all patients endoscopic DCR with mucosal flap were performed. Results: The follow-up period was 6 to 18 months after surgery. The procedure was successful in 87.5% of cases. A lower intraoperative complications (bleeding and painful surgery) was observed in two patients. In this two person restenosis was found 2 months after DCR. Conclusion: Endoscopic DCR is safe and successful method of treatment in patients with acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction. The success rate of DCR depends on proper patients qualification and precision in surgical technique.

Keywords: endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy, nasolacrimal duct obstruction.
