Abstract

We described the utility of dacryoendoscope during dacryocystorhinostomy. Dacryoendoscope shows the location of lacrimal sac by its light. Because it makes sure the exposure and incision of lacrimal sac. Dacryoendoscope is enabled us to observe the condition of lacrimal passage, which is canaliculus, lacrimal sac, nasolacrimal duct and the obstruction site of passage. Dacryoendoscope clearly shows which NS-tube run along to the true lacrimal passage or the pseudo passage.
