Abstract
Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is used to treat epiphora caused by anatomic or functional obstruction of the nasolacrimal apparatus. However, success is dependent on a thorough understanding of the endonasal anatomy, wide marsupialization of the lacrimal sac, and meticulous care of the mucosa.
