Dacryocystorhinostomy is a surgical procedure designed to treat blocked tear ducts. This blockage can cause tears to accumulate, leading to discomfort and frequent infections. The surgery creates a new passageway for tears to drain from the eye into the nose, bypassing the obstruction. During the procedure, a small incision is made near the inner corner of the eye, and a connection is formed between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity. This allows tears to flow normally again, alleviating symptoms and improving overall eye health. The surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia.
