Types of Lacrimal Sac Surgeries
Lacrimal Sac Surgery is performed to treat blocked tear ducts, which can lead to excessive tearing, infections, and discomfort. When the natural drainage system of the eye becomes obstructed, surgical intervention is required to restore proper tear flow. In India, the most commonly performed Lacrimal Sac Surgeries include
Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) – External Approach
The most common procedure for treating tear duct blockages. Creates a new drainage pathway between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity. Can be performed using traditional (external) or endoscopic (internal) techniques.
Endoscopic DCR (Scarless Surgery)
A minimally invasive alternative performed through the nasal cavity using an endoscope. No external incisions, resulting in a quicker recovery and no visible scars. Preferred for patients seeking a less invasive option.
Balloon Dacryoplasty (Balloon Catheter Dilation)
A non-surgical technique used for mild to moderate tear duct blockages. A small balloon is inserted and inflated to open the blocked passage. Less invasive with minimal downtime and discomfort.
Conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy (CDCR)
Recommended for cases where the tear drainage system is completely damaged. Involves the insertion of a small glass or plastic tube (Jones tube) to bypass the obstruction and restore tear drainage.
Lacrimal Sac Surgery Procedure at Chakshu Eye Care
At Chakshu Eye Care, Pterygium Excision Surgery is performed as a safe and effective outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. The surgery involves the following steps:
- Pre-Surgical Preparation – A detailed eye and nasal examination is conducted to assess the blockage, and imaging tests may be performed if necessary. Patients may be advised to stop certain medications, such as blood thinners, before the surgery to minimize risks.
- Anesthesia – The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the surgery.
- Surgical Methods – The choice of surgical technique depends on the severity of the blockage. External DCR involves making a small incision near the inner corner of the eye to create a new drainage pathway. Endoscopic DCR is a minimally invasive, scarless procedure performed through the nasal cavity. Balloon Dacryoplasty is a non-surgical technique where a balloon catheter is used to open partially blocked tear ducts.
- Recovery & Post-Care – Mild swelling and discomfort may occur initially, which can be managed with antibiotic eye drops and nasal sprays. Most patients resume normal activities within a few days, and follow-up visits ensure proper healing and long-term success.
