Abstract
Epiphora, or the flood of tears, is a common and irritating symptom. Lacrimation is caused by an overabundance of tears. The severity of epiphora can range from a minor annoyance to a continuously annoying overflow that can cause social embarrassment. To compare the results of Endoscopic Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy with and without prolene stent. The study design is a prospective, single blind, randomized comparative study. It’s conducted from June 2016 to June 2017 at Department of Otorhinolaryngology, R.G.Kar Medical College & Hospital. Result: Most of our patients in both groups without stent and with stent presented with epiphora 61.54% and 53.84% respectively, other major symptom in both groups without stent and with stent was epiphora with swelling 34% and 30% respectively. There were statistically no significant differences among the patients according to their symptoms between the two groups. The study of this limited series shows no disadvantages yet and this warrants further studies and evaluation using larger numbers of cases in future.
