The presented video shows steps of Transcanalicular endoscopic laser assisted dacryocystorhinostomy. Transcanalicular endoscopic laser dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) involves the creation of an opening between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity using a transcanalicular laser fibre. It is indicated in Primary acquired nasolacrimal duct (NLD) obstruction, failed dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) due to ostia closure, complex congenital nasolacrimal duct (NLD) obstruction. Its advantage is that it can be performed under local anaesthesia as a day-case procedure, can be performed in a patient on anticoagulants and is useful in revision dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). However, its high cost, high failure rate and complications limit its use in selective cases. The video is aimed at ENT surgeons, rhinologist, oculoplastic surgeons and ophthalmologists. The viewers will find it easy to pick up the steps and practice this surgery.

Introduction

This video provides clarity about the indications and proper case selection for laser dacrocystorhinostomy (DCR).
