The aim is to compare the outcome of nonendoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (NEN DCR) with external DCR (EXT-DCR) in the treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO) in children.
A retrospective, comparative chart analysis of all consecutive children <16 years after EXT-DCR or NEN-DCR between June 2012 and February 2016.
Seventy-one children (79 eyes) underwent DCR in the study, of which 37 children (40 eyes) underwent EXT-DCR and 34 (39 eyes) NEN-DCR. Mean age of both groups (8.7 vs. 7.7 years) was comparable. Etiologically, persistent congenital NLDO was the most common indication (50% vs. 72%), followed by acquired and secondary NLDO. Mean duration was shorter for NEN-DCR (47 vs. 37 min; P = 0.0021). Mitomycin C 0.04% was used more often in NEN-DCR (10% vs. 56.41%). Success after primary EXT-DCR was 100% as compared to 75% for primary NEN-DCR at median follow-up of 12 and 16 months respectively. At revision, the main cause of failure was granuloma (60%). After revision, all eyes were symptom-free at a median follow-up of 9.5 months.
Primary NEN-DCR has a poorer outcome than EXT-DCR in the treatment of NLDO in children and is more likely to need a revision procedure.
比较非内镜下经鼻泪囊鼻腔造口术(NEN DCR)与外路泪囊鼻腔造口术(EXT-DCR)治疗儿童鼻泪管阻塞(NLDO)的效果。
对2012年6月至2016年2月期间接受EXT-DCR或NEN-DCR治疗的所有16岁以下连续儿童进行回顾性比较图表分析。
71名儿童(79只眼)在本研究中接受了泪囊鼻腔造口术,其中37名儿童(40只眼)接受了EXT-DCR,34名(39只眼)接受了NEN-DCR。两组的平均年龄(8.7岁对7.7岁)具有可比性。病因方面,持续性先天性鼻泪管阻塞是最常见的适应证(50%对72%),其次是后天性和继发性鼻泪管阻塞。NEN-DCR的平均手术时间较短(47分钟对37分钟;P = 0.0021)。0.04%的丝裂霉素C在NEN-DCR中使用更为频繁(10%对56.41%)。初次EXT-DCR后的成功率为100%,而初次NEN-DCR的成功率在分别为12个月和16个月的中位随访时为75%。在翻修时,失败的主要原因是肉芽肿(60%)。翻修后,所有眼睛在9.5个月的中位随访时均无症状。
在治疗儿童鼻泪管阻塞方面,初次NEN-DCR的效果比EXT-DCR差,并且更有可能需要进行翻修手术。
