[Treatment of nasolacrimal duct obstruction from the otorhinolaryngologist's perspective].

CONCLUSION: DCR is a safe surgical procedure with high success rates. It can be strongly recommended for patients suffering from intra- or post-saccular nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Furthermore, the external and endonasal approaches (according to Toti and West, respectively) are comparable techniques. The use of silicone stents is indicated only in special cases.
