Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is the standard procedure for the treatment of acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO), which can be performed with an external or endonasal approach. Numerous variations of endonasal DCR have been described in the literature that report varying rates of success. The aim of this study is to describe the approach and success rate of endonasal DCR, in which the nasal mucosa, bone and lacrimal mucosa are sequentially removed.
