Özet

Aim: To evaluate the outcome of the modified technique of external dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) with a "U"-shaped single flap that was fixed on to the orbicularis muscle with combined silicone tube in dacriostenosis. In cases with decreased visibility because of excessive bleeding during surgery, a small sac size, and difficulty of mutual suturing between nasal mucosal and sac flaps related to distance.
