Abstract
AIM: Prospective study to assess the success rate of repeat Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery done with Mitomycin C (MMC) syringing on first postoperative day.
METHOD: 43 patients qualifying inclusion criteria for repeat DCR were included. On first postoperative day sac syringing with 1 ml of 0.2mg/ml MMC was done in newly formed passage and near bone osteum. These patients were followed up for one year.
RESULT: Out of 43 patients, 42 patients were symptom free and patent on syringing at the end of follow up period of 12 months.
CONCLUSION: Result suggests that our modified technique had high success rate and reliability.
