Post-surgical endonasal debridement has not yet been independently assessed for its impact on functional success.\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A retrospective review was performed of all patients who underwent endoDCR by an experienced oculofacial plastic surgeon over 7 years (2012-2019). Post-operative intranasal debridement was not routinely performed from March 2012 to February 2016. From March 2016 to June 2019, all patients underwent routine ipsilateral intranasal debridement at post-operative week 2. Surgical success was determined based upon subjective assessment of epiphora resolution at the patient\u2019s final post-operative visit.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A total of 69 patients (88 surgeries) were included. Thirty-five patients had standard post-operative follow-up without debridement, whereas 34 underwent endonasal debridement at post-operative week 2. Demographics and follow-up were similar between the 2 groups. Functional success was achieved in 84.1% of patients without debridement, and in 97.7% with debridement (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    = .058).\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    This review demonstrates a trend toward improvement in the rate of surgical success of endoDCR when routine endonasal debridement was instituted 2 weeks following surgery. We believe that removal of nasal crusts, clots, and residual absorbable gelatin sponge at the osteotomy site improves tear outflow and reduces cicatricial healing enhancing patency of the surgically derived lacrimal-nasal fistula. We advocate for postoperative debridement in the perioperative management of endoDCR patients to optimize successful outcomes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01455613231195144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,31]],"date-time":"2023-08-31T04:36:35Z","timestamp":1693456595000},"page":"225-228","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Post-Operative Endonasal Debridement May Improve Outcomes of Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"105","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1671-4377","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natalie A.","family":"Homer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Byers Eye Institute, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alison H.","family":"Watson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oculoplastic &amp; Orbital Surgery Service, Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tanuj","family":"Nakra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TOC Eye and Face, Austin, TX, USA"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Dell Medical School, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459989110400408"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","first-page":"319","article-title":"Long-term results and reasons for failure of intranasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy","volume":"20","author":"\u00d6nerci M","year":"2000","unstructured":"\u00d6nerci M, Orhan M, \u00d6\u011f O.
