Preface
In the last 20 years, the development of new technologies and minimally invasive surgical techniques has contributed to the success of endoscopic techniques such as endoscopic sinus surgery. This book attempts to describe in a simple and direct manner the treatment of tear way pathology, which is of increasing interest to ENT specialists. Dacryocystorhinostomy is a surgical procedure to restore the flow of tears into the nose that has revolutionized the management of tear way pathology. This technique is a clear example of how a corrected multidisciplinary approach can improve clinical and therapeutic management. The authors describe, step by step, the endoscopic technique, focus on surgical anatomy and points of risk, and the possible complications associated with high-complexity anatomical surgical fields. This book is targeted toward ENT specialists who may benefit from the practical and systematic approach taken in this book to this type of surgery. We hope that this book would serve as a guide and tool for new surgeons and increase their confidence with endoscopic sinus anatomy, dacryocistorhinostomy procedures, and correct management of diagnostic-therapeutic flowcharts.
