Official title:
Predictive Value of Nasolacrimal Sac Biopsy in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy
During dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), the lacrimal sac wall biopsy is not routinely performed, but it is recommended if there is a suspicion of underlying disease other than preoperatively or intraoperatively chronic inflammation. We aimed to evaluate the utility of the histopathology examination of fifty patients in AlAzhar Hospitals to put recommendation for histopathology examination of such cases.
Most of patient with epiphora have different causes of nasolacrimal duct obstruction . This study aims to examine how important routine lacrimal sac biopsy is during endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy surgery. The study included 50 patients with chronic unilateral epiphora. All patients underwent endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with nasolacrimal duct biopsy. Histopathologic analysis was performed for each specimen to assess the nature of the pathology. ;
