Abstract

A modified endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy technique using a clubhead-shaped nasal flap combined with a posteriorly hinged lacrimal flap was designed for tension-free anastomosis with the surrounding mucoperiosteum. This technique showed satisfactory outcomes that facilitated the maintenance of the rhinostomy in eight cases with nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Laryngoscope, 132:2314-2318, 2022.
