Thirty\u2010four (42.5%) patients received TCDL\u2010DCR (Group A) and 46 (57.5%) patients (Group B) received EX\u2010DCR with temporary silicone stent intubation. The success of surgery was determined by the relief of epiphora, patient satisfaction, endoscopic evaluation of ostium patency, and lacrimal system syringing. Pearson Chi\u2010Square test, Fisher's Exact test, and Student's <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test were used for statistical analyses.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Group A included 22 females and 12 males with a mean age of 49.1\u2009\u00b1\u200915.1 years, Group B included 35 females and 11 males with a mean age of 50.8\u2009\u00b1\u200911.7 years. There was no difference between groups in terms of age and gender (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.905 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.167, respectively). The duration of the operation was 22.2\u2009\u00b1\u20094.8\u2009minutes for Group A, while it was 56.3\u2009\u00b1\u200915.7\u2009minutes for group B (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0001). In two patients in Group A, injury in the medial turbinate was recorded, and in Group B, 14 patients experienced mild to severe perioperative bleeding. The perioperative complication rate was significantly different between the groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Success in relieving symptoms was 79.4% for Group A and 89.1% for Group B.
