Sinonasal effects of external dacryocystorhinostomy

CONCLUSION: This study is one of only a few to investigate the effect of external dacryocystorhinostomy on sinonasal function. The results showed that external dacryocystorhinostomy impairs mucociliary clearance. The surgical procedure is well tolerated and does not significantly change nasal symptom scores.PMID:34253269 | DOI:10.1017/S002221512100181X
