Endoscopic endonasal conjunctivodacryocystorhinostomy was successful in most cases as a primary or revision surgery, researchers in South Korea found.

Min Soo Park, of Kong Eye Center, and colleagues retrospectively analyzed outcomes of 24 patients who underwent the procedure. The procedure was successfully performed in 11 of 14 patients (78.6%) for whom CDCR was a primary surgery. The procedure was successful in 10 out of 10 patients for whom the surgery was a revision of previous work.

"[The] main causes of failure included inaccurate tube length and abnormal tube position," the authors said.

The study is published in the January issue of Ophthalmologica.
