Abstract
Purpose
To compare outcomes and complications of three surgical techniques for the treatment of congenital dacryocystoceles: nasolacrimal probing and irrigation (P+I), P+I plus nasal endoscopy (NE) with intranasal cyst marsupialization, and primary NE with intranasal cyst marsupialization.
Methods
The medical records of children ≤2 years of age at a single academic center with a diagnosis of dacryocystocele from 2012 to 2022 were retrospectively identified and reviewed. The primary outcome was resolution of the dacryocystocele (ie, elimination of the medial canthal mass and resolution of tearing or discharge) after a single procedure (“primary success”). Surgical techniques were compared using exact logistic regression.
Results
Of 54 patients, 21 (39%) underwent P+I, 23 (43%) underwent P+I plus nasal endoscopy, and 10 (18%) underwent primary NE. Primary success was 76% for P+I and 100% for the other two cohorts. Most patients (89%) who underwent P+I received general anesthesia compared with none who underwent primary nasal endoscopy. Most complications were related to the use of general anesthesia, with a complication rate of 10% for P+I, 48% for P+I plus NE, and 0% for primary NE. Most P+I procedures required hospital admission compared to half of primary NE procedures.
Conclusions
In our study cohort, primary NE provided good outcomes and was associated with a lower complication rate than P+I with or without NE.
