Abstract

Dacryocystitis is a common manifestation in ophthalmology practice. external DCR is the definitive gold standard management. however many modifications in external DCR are proposed now a days, out of which dcr using intracystic implant is one. This study aiims at comparing the surgical outcome of external conventional DCR with that of DCR using intracystic implant. After a follow up period of 6 months it was observed that the success rate in connventional DCR is significantly better(97%) than DCR using intracystic implant(85%). However intraoperative blood loss and surgical time is significantly less in DCR using intracystic implant than the conventional external DCR.
